Majors supplement their degrees with educational activities outside of the classroom.

The Political Science Student Association receives funding from the University’s Student Organizations Association to support activities related to the study of political science and international affairs. The PSSA supports guest forums and debates, as well as preparations for Model United Nations, Model NATO, and Mock Trial conferences and competitions.

Prelaw students have organized an undergraduate chapter of Phi Alpha Delta, a national law school fraternity. PAD members sponsor informational programs, tours of law schools, visits to the campus by attorneys and law school professors, and preparation sessions for the Law School Admission Test. The group has also been involved with Mock Trial competitions at which students play the roles of attorneys and witnesses in a simulated courtroom dispute and are judged by practicing attorneys.

Political science students can also qualify to join Pi Sigma Alpha, the national political science honor society.

Contact the Undergraduate Director for information about these activities.
