Welcome to the website of the Political Science Department. We are an eclectic department, with the faculty pursuing a diverse set of substantive concerns in their teaching and research, employing multiple methodological approaches. The link Faculty on the left provides more detailed information on the interests of specific faculty members. If you wish to contact department personnel, use Department Contacts.

For undergraduates the link Undergraduate Study will lead to further links explaining major requirements, course descriptions, and the department procedure on wait lists.

For graduate students the link Graduate Study will lead you to links that explain the nature of the graduate program, degree requirements, and information about financial aid and the application process.
