Bridging Political Divides

Why study Political Science? At the 2024 graduation ceremony, Professors Jon Pevehouse and Kathy Cramer offered their thoughts on the Poli Sci experience and why it’s an important topic to explore .

The Political Science Department is located in North Hall, the oldest building on campus.  Due to its age, this building is not accessible to individuals with mobility disabilities and does not have an elevator or accessible restroom.  The Department is committed to equal opportunity for all students to attend office hours, advising, and other department-related events.  Please contact Faye Lux at flux@wisc.edu or 608.263.1780 if North Hall presents a disability-related barrier to you, and the Department will gladly work to ensure access.  If you require a disability-related accommodation for the academic requirements of a Political Science course unrelated to North Hall, please review the information below.
