The University of Wisconsin Political Science Department is one of the nation’s oldest and most respected programs. Our Department is highly ranked in national surveys, and our award-winning faculty are known for innovative research on the discipline’s most current and important questions. Our dedication to teaching is also apparent: we are one of the largest majors on campus, with a commitment to excellence in undergraduate instruction.
Summer 2024 enrollment begins soon!
With heavy hearts, we mourn the passing of three beloved members of the Department, and the University at large: Chuck Jones, Bernie Cohen, and Booth Fowler.
