A political science degree affords students many wonderful opportunities. Some of our recent graduates explain some of these exciting possibilities and how they are making their mark on the world.
On May 3, 2023, Bear Braumoeller died following a short illness. Bear was our colleague in the Political Science Department at the Ohio State University, but he was also our friend and mentor. We miss him dearly.
