People who like working with people, and who enjoy thinking about why people behave the way they do when they seek and use power, come to study politics and government with us. Our students range from aspiring lawyers to budding political journalists, from theorists pitting Madison against Marx to would-be Senators and Congresspeople, from environmentalists to tycoons-to-be. Small classes with student-oriented professors who love to talk with you outside class enable you to grow to your full potential. Internships with local government agencies, the Washington Semester, and study abroad opportunities provide further avenues for growth. Throughout, the faculty works with students to develop their critical thinking and writing skills.
