Department of Political Science - UC San Diego Revenue and Competitors

Our department combines world-class research with an innovative and intensive approach to teaching undergraduates and PhD students.\n\nFounded in 1974, we are by far the youngest of the globe’s top departments.\n\nUC San Diego Department of Political Science took its place among our ivy-covered peers not by following their traditions but carving out our own paths, helping to change the way that our discipline approaches the study of the political world.\n\nWe bring the same passion for non-tradition into our classrooms, where we try to provide our students with courses on subjects they never knew existed, assignments that challenge them to perform professional-level work, and research tools they can use to explore their own questions.\n\nPlease note that the Department of Political Science does not endorse any particular political party or organization.
