About the Department
The Political Science Department at the University of Florida is committed to training tomorrow’s leaders—in government, business, the law, and higher education. From making local governments work better to changing the way we think about the global community, from meeting the environmental challenge to developing a strong sense of ethics in the political arena, our faculty and students are addressing the most critical problems facing the country today. With broad-based undergraduate instruction and a variety of innovative programs at the graduate level, we also have been at the forefront of the internationalization of the curriculum at UF.
