Welcome to Political Science at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ
A political science education makes our political system knowable, and is thus invaluable for developing engaged citizens who seek positive change in our world. The Political Science Department at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ offers an array of cutting edge classes focusing on international and domestic security, resource governance, democracy, and reconciliation in settler societies. Our graduates go on to pursue a variety of exciting careers upon graduation, in the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ state or federal bureaucracy, the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Legislature, or in the private sector working for non-governmental organizations or as lawyers or members of the media.
Share your accomplishments, news, research and events! Please email your CLA public information officer, Sarah Manriquez for assistance with submissions to the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ calendar, ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Cornerstone, community calendars, Facebook and so much more.
