融入世界

政治科学 is the study of politics at the local, state, national and international levels. We strive to help our students better understand their community and the world around them, as well as provide them with opportunities and experiences that will empower them to become more active, 知情和参与的公民. 在我们部门内部, 我们优先考虑三个关键领域:社区, 体验式学习和学术研究.

社区. 我们提供包罗万象的, welcoming environment in which our students are encouraged to socialize with each other, 一起学习,互相支持, both inside and outside our department because we know that this will likely lead students to become better citizens within their communities.

从实践经验中学习. We recognize the importance and value of learning outside the classroom. These opportunities not only enhance and reinforce what students have learned in the classroom, 但它们也为学生提供了实践经验, networking opportunities and greater clarity about what they might want to do upon graduation.

奖学金. We offer seminar-style courses (15-20 students per class) that allow for discussion-based learning as well as extensive one-on-one interactions between students and faculty. Our focus is on helping our students better develop their reading, 写作和批判性思维能力, which will lead to more career opportunities and a greater chance for success following graduation.

“体育菠菜大平台为我提供了 机会 我从没想过. From presenting my research at a conference to having an internship at the District Court, 我有过真实的经历. KLOP has shown me a variety of law careers that I can fulfill in a rural community. LSAT预备板, 与现在的法律系学生交谈, and taking a trip to the UNL law school has given me connections to prepare for my next chapter in school."
