Guiding your way from start to finish
Students in the Department of Political Science have the advantage of a two-tiered advising system. All students are assigned a professional academic advisor, an expert in degree requirements, the university system, and experiential learning opportunities, while faculty serve as mentors in the discipline, guiding students in career, research, and advanced study opportunities. Additionally, pre-law students in our department have the advantage of working with an advisor to help them prepare for the LSAT and law school applications. Students can schedule advising appointments through MyUI.
“My advisors have been valuable resources in helping me make informed decisions about my education, working with me to solve issues, and connecting me with resources for law school. Thanks to their guidance, I’ve been able to make the most of my education and feel prepared for what comes next.”
