University of Nevada, Las Vegas is a dynamic public university that reflects the
excitement and uniqueness of the southwestern part of the United States of America. Contributing to this dynamism, the Department of Political Science strives to prepare students for academic and public life, and to be part of the political education of our
unique community. To these ends, we train the students in the state-of-the-art political research methodology and provide them with extensive area study opportunities. Our internship and community programs establish a valuable link between our department
and the community. Committed to and trained in multicultural and global issues, our faculty are a valuable asset to the community and an indispensable component of our economic, political, and social development.
