Section Title
The mission of the Undergraduate Major in Political Science is to educate students who have political interests and concerns into politically literate citizens capable of understanding their own governments and political processes, other governments, and the interactions among governments. The Undergraduate major is not intended solely a pre-professional program to train either attorneys or political scientists, nor one designed simply to produce 'good citizens'. It is intended to develop students' frames of reference and their critical and analytical skills to understand better their political world.
There are currently about 1,400 undergraduate Political Science majors at the University of Florida. Every year 75-100 students participate in our internship program with local, state, and federal agencies and legislative offices, allowing these students to see theory put into practice.
