Undergraduate Programs and Research

Our programs prepare students for careers in government, law, administration, research, public policy, consulting, and related professions. That’s because students at POIR gain exposure to normative and empirical political theories; they acquire training in analytical thinking and research methods; and they learn to understand the diversity of political systems, peoples, cultures, and nationalities. We provide individual mentoring, guest lectures, group workshops and roundtables on internships and job-related topics to help undergraduate students plan for their next 4 years and beyond.
