How would you describe your classes to someone who has never attended one?
Class is informal, interactive, and never dull. My aim is to stimulate discussion so you feel compelled to share what you have learned with friends and family.

State and Local Government, Comparative Politics, International Relations.
I was taken by the opportunity to teach political science to dedicated and hard-working students in a unique liberal arts environment.
Being a political science major provides you with a unique skill set designed to allow you to excel in many careers. I have seen my students go to law school, graduate school, and even the Ecole nationale d’administration. Other students have won internships and subsequent employment as political campaign managers, think-tank policy wonks, and employees at non-profits.
The community here at Anderson University. All of the faculty and staff make you feel so welcome. I also never tire of hearing the local community express their pride in having AU in their community.
