Overview

Our students in the Political Science program at Augsburg University examine a wide range of important issues such as war and peace, immigration, gender, race and ethnicity, the internet, and the environment and the Mississippi River. These and more topics are brought to life for our students through direct engagement and experiential learning.

Augsburg Political Science students learn through the use of simulations in the classroom; study abroad; internships in government or the private sector; other off-campus experiences, such as a semester learning from Twin Cities community organizations; participating in Model UN conferences, or a course which takes students out on the Mississippi River to learn about environmental issues.  Your advisor can explain how you can take advantage of these opportunities, and the Strommen Center for Meaningful Work offers additional assistance with the many hands-on learning possibilities.
