Welcome to MSU's Department of Political Science and Public Administration. We're thrilled you're joining our community of around 250 political science undergraduates. Our department boasts 18 distinguished faculty members recognized for outstanding teaching (including multiple award winners), impactful research, and frequent publications. We take pride in maintaining an approachable environment for all students.
Political science courses develop analytical thinking, critical reasoning, and strong communication skills. Students appreciate our typically small class sizes, with most courses having under 30 enrollees. The program also features three annual honors course offerings. These intimate class settings foster meaningful student-professor relationships while pushing majors to refine their writing, reasoning, and self-reflection abilities.
