You Make Us Great
The Department of Political Science at the University of Minnesota ranks among the top 15 in the United States.
Members of the department's outstanding faculty—from internationally recognized scholars and teachers to rising stars—have long been in the vanguard of the discipline, helping us understand political systems and political life both domestically and internationally. They have earned their reputations observing and analyzing the global political landscape, including political systems in the United States and abroad; researching political belief systems, political attitudes and behavior, and political and social cognition and communication; and studying political tolerance, citizenship, human rights, geopolitical issues, and political participation. Their interests range from why people vote the way they do to how political systems are constituted and how they evolve.
With your tax-deductible contribution we will continue to excel at educating leading teachers and scholars, policymakers, local and national leaders, and global citizens.
What Your Gift Can Do
Your generous support for the Department of Political Science is more critical than ever. It helps us attract and retain the very best scholars and students despite decreasing funding from the state.
Your contribution allows us to ensure:
Creating endowed chairs and professorships and supporting interdisciplinary research centers and programs will help us recruit and retain outstanding faculty.
Faculty choose institutions that attract the best graduate students. We need to ensure the excellence and competitiveness of our graduate programs so that we may compete for the best faculty and brightest students.
Although we are attracting better students than even before, too many other outstanding students choose other institutions—often for financial reasons. Merit and need-based scholarships are needed to recruit many outstanding students.
Choose a Fund
To remain competitive, we need your support for graduate student fellowships and faculty research funds. We have several endowed funds that may interest you.
- Frank J. Sorauf Graduate Fellowship
- Robert & Shirley Holt Discovery Fellowship
- Political Science Fund
Your contribution provides students with encouragement and financial support. It gives faculty resources for enlarging knowledge and understanding. It helps to maintain a distinguished reputation for the department.
