As a department, we have experts all across the board when it comes to international expertise. Through the Political Science Center for Global Politics we'll be able to bring together our teaching, research and communications into a collective identity that will significantly enhance our ability to make such a contribution to our students.

This center is a vehicle for attracting new students to the study of global politics, students who will major or minor in our department's programs, but who will also through this be attracted to study in other disciplines within the field of global studies.

PSCGP will foster interdisciplinary education, scholarship and community outreach in the field of global politics by:
