We are located on the second floor of Gibbs Hall, off of E. Market Street in Greensboro, North Carolina. This page exists to inform students of what is happening in the department. It also provides useful information for those who may be interested in joining our program. Our department is fortunate enough to have dedicated professors who really enjoy teaching students about government, political processes, research methodology, theory, and the many other disciplines of political science.
Students learn to actively take part in their studies in class and outside of class.
The Political Science Department offers students the opportunity to join one of three student organizations so that students may supplement what they learn in class with extra-curricular activities. The program primarily focuses on analytical reasoning, research, communication, decision-making, statistical analysis, and computer usage. The political science curriculum offers the background and preparation for students planning to enter graduate school, law school, employment in the public and private sectors, and teaching in secondary schools. The admission of students to the undergraduate degree program in political science is based upon the degree requirements of the University. A student majoring in political science must complete 124 semester hours of University courses .
