Shaping Success, One Gift at a Time

The Political Science Department emphasizes connecting theoretical concepts to real-world political scenarios, addressing philosophical issues of power, justice, and freedom, along with practical concerns like policy-making and public problem-solving. Students are offered courses in American Politics, Comparative Politics, International Relations, and Political Theory, supplemented with opportunities such as guest lectures, research programs, community service projects, field trips and internships at local, national, and international levels.

Support the Political Science Department!

Gifts to the department directly support:

  • Pi Sigma Alpha (Political Science Honors Society) academic conference, where students present original research alongside their peers.
  • Community-building events like our popular s'mores night, chocolate fountain social, and Spring Banquet, which bring together majors and minors to celebrate and connect.
  • Faculty-student collaborations on research and projects that extend learning beyond the classroom.
  • Career exploration and support, helping students network and prepare for life after Mac.
  • Civic engagement opportunities that encourage students to become active participants in public life.
