In Austin Peay's Department of Political Science, personal attention to students is important. The classes are small, so that faculty get to know their students and are committed to helping them succeed.

Our graduates have a good admission record to law schools such as Vanderbilt University, University of Tennessee-Knoxville, University of Tulsa College of Law, University of Memphis, the University of Alabama, University of Mississippi, Chicago-Kent, Washington University (St. Louis), Tulane University, and Samford University. They have attended political science and public policy graduate programs at Vanderbilt University, George Washington University,  University of Kentucky, University of Tennessee-Knoxville, and Georgetown University.

The department sponsors a Mock Trial Team, which has been successful in regional and national tournaments.

Internships are available with the Tennessee Legislature and the offices of the Secretary of State, Treasurer, and Comptroller at the state capital in Nashville.

A local chapter of the national political science honorary, Pi Sigma Alpha, is active on campus and provides an opportunity for campus leadership and service.

There are active College Republican and College Democrat organizations.

Our political science graduates enter a variety of careers. Besides going to law school or graduate school, they have gone into law enforcement, government work, teaching, social services administration, and management training in the private sector.
