Undergraduate Honors Research
Undergraduate students interested in conducting original research should consider the political science honors program. During their senior year students in the honors program write a thesis on a topic of their choosing while being supervised by a political science faculty member.
Faculty Research with Undergraduates
Getting involved in a faculty-led research project is a great way for students to learn about how research happens in the social sciences, develop coding, computational, and other skills, and build relationships with their professors and other student team members. Undergraduate students interested in working on a faculty-led project can apply to take PS 292 (Undergraduate Research Practicum) and/or PS 492 (Undergraduate Research Assistance) with a faculty member.
