The political science program at É«ÏãÊÓƵ truly prepared me to succeed in law school by teaching me the fundamentals of political science as well as by instilling a desire to learn and an ability to consider and appreciate diverse viewpoints on complex issues.

I'm proud of the education I received from the Political Science faculty. And though it's been years since I left the halls of É«ÏãÊÓƵ, the professors that taught me so much then are still very much a part of my life. You can't put a price on that kind of unique education.
