Political science majors and minors can find support from both professional advisors in CAS as well as staff and faculty within the department.
CAS Advising for Political Science Students
Political science students are strongly encouraged to meet regularly with an academic advisor. At Tykeson College and Career Advising, you can work with professional advisors to explore your interests, schedule your classes, plan for graduation, discuss career possibilities, and more. Advisors help political science majors and minors throughout their undergraduate journey with both scheduled appointments and drop-in advising. Political science is a social science discipline supported by Tykeson's social science advising team.
Please refer to the CAS Advising Website for the most up-to-date information regarding drop-in availability: How to Access CAS Advising.
