Faculty
The Political Science faculty is committed to teaching as well as to research. Faculty members give papers at scholarly conferences throughout the nation, write books and publish articles in the best journals in the profession. At the same time, faculty members are dedicated teachers. They teach all the courses within the department, from the introductory to the most advanced. They are evaluated and rewarded as much by the quality of their teaching as the quality of their scholarship.
