We offer a truly unique learning environment. Our faculty highly values student diversity as well as diversity in the curriculum by specifically including material on and from the perspectives of historically marginalized groups such as women, American Indians, Black Americans, immigrants, Latinos/as, LGBTQ people, and others. We also value international perspectives and students, whose participation in our classes greatly enriches the experience of students and faculty, and we strongly encourage our students to internationalize their experiences by immersing themselves in other culture by studying abroad.
The Department
The Department of Political Science is a small department, with 8 tenure-track faculty and undergraduate students. We also offer an MPA degree and maintain about 20 MPA students on average. Our award–winning faculty bring rich and diverse scholarship into the classroom, engaging students in questions of ethics, power, identity, representation, policy, law and governance, at the state, national and global levels. Our integrated curriculum challenges students to develop critical thinking, communication, and research skills, preparing our graduates for citizenship and leadership, post-graduate study, and diverse employment opportunities.
The College
The College of Letters and Science (L&S), the largest center for learning, teaching and research at Montana State University, offers students an excellent liberal arts and sciences education in nearly 50 majors, 25 minors and over 25 graduate degrees within the four areas of the humanities, natural sciences, mathematics and social sciences.
Building on the great strength of our traditional disciplines, the college provides exciting opportunities for faculty and students at the cutting edge of interdisciplinary inquiry.
