Those drawn to the inner workings of government on a local, national, or global level can investigate the subject during a political science mentorship. Students can tackle pressing social issues from a policy perspective, unpack age-old conflicts in international relations, or trace the evolution of present-day ideologies through political writings of the past. 

Whether creating a policy brief for their local congressperson or writing a paper on the evolution of nationalism in the 20th century, political science students hone their argumentative and writing skills, learning to articulate their position in a well-researched and persuasive manner.
