Research Opportunities

  • Every Political Science major completes a Senior Thesis in POLS 600.  Students are encouraged to formally present their research at the Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity Forum (URCAF) each Spring.  Department funds are available for students to present their research at an academic conference.
  • Student Research Assistantships are available from time to time with department faculty members.  These positions allow students to collaborate with faculty on their professional research projects and include a stipend.  On occasion, students may co-present the research with their faculty mentor.
