- What do students do with a degree in political science?
- Political Science students learn about politics in a very broad sense while developing their abilities to research, analyze, and write. All of these skills are useful in many work settings. Our graduates have worked for the Peace Corps and Americorps as well as in banking, in human rights, in computer software development, in campaigns, as lobbyists, for elected officials, and in law. Much of what people do upon graduation comes from the passions they have.
- Do you offer internships?
- We place students in internships in the state legislature, in the offices of Colorado's congressional delegation, in political campaigns, in advocacy organizations, in legal services, in the district attorneys office, and in the public defender's office. The department has links with many community organizations, and we offer students the advantages of living in a major metropolitan area.
- What are your classes like?
- Our classes are small, with most upper division classes capped at 25 students. Our professors use a variety of educational methods to encourage understanding of course material, often assigning short written assignments and promoting cooperative, student-centered learning. Several of our classes involve service learning, partnered with organizations throughout the community to provide students with real world training.
