Introduction
Building on its historical strength, Yale is a leader in research and teaching in
contemporary Political Science. The Department is home to around 45 faculty, whose
scholarship and teaching span across the subfields of Political Science and the countries
of the world. The undergraduate major is among the largest on campus, and the
graduate program produces Ph.D. students who have taken leadership positions in the
discipline.
Many Political Science faculty also play active roles in related programs at Yale, such as
the Program in Ethics, Politics, and Economics; Directed Studies; the Institution for
Social And Policy Studies; and the MacMillian Center. The Department also sponsors
numerous seminars, lectures, and conferences that are open to all members of the Yale
community.
