The faculty in the political science department represent a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches, and all share a commitment to the pursuit of knowledge through both research and teaching. The Department of Political Science is strongly committed to undergraduate and graduate education in government and politics that supports the scholarship of discovery, teaching, integration and
application. The department provides students with the intellectual foundation for many career pursuits, including work in the public, private, and non-profit sectors; law, education, and global and local politics. We offer both an undergraduate major and minor in political science, and an undergraduate program in fire administration. At the graduate level we offer a Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree and a dual Masters degree in Political Science and German.
