Analytical and statistical research centers on the structure and operations of local, regional, state wide, national or federal American governmental institutions; comparative foreign governments at the countrywide level; and international political organizations and institutions (inclusive of participation by countries). American and international based career fostering, via internship and simulation/decision-making training programs, build on concerted student-professor collaboration in extra-curricular activities such as Moot Court, Model United Nations, and Political Science Club.

These political science priorities and experiences contribute to increasing numbers of graduates obtaining advanced degrees and serving in public policy leadership positions. The constant and rapid changes in the U.S. and global arenas reflect the Political Science Department?s focus on American politics (pre-law) and international politics (pre-doctoral) graduate career tracks.
