Welcome! These pages introduce the programs and faculty of the Department of Political Science. Links are provided here to a number of political science department pages and sites, including those that provide descriptions of departmental major requirements and courses, a listing of opportunities available to political science majors, and introductions to the political science faculty.

Visitors may wish to review the special programs that are available to political science students. Particularly notable are the two internship and seminar semester programs in Washington, D.C. Students throughout the college, but especially political science majors, are encouraged to take advantage of the unique opportunities offered by Thiel's Semester in Washington.
