What factors do I use to judge if one undergraduate political science program is better than another?
I am currently finishing up my second year of community college, and am trying to choose universities to apply to transfer to next year. I intend to major in political science (with the intention of continuing on to law school), and need to know how to compare one program to another to choose the best one for me. What variables should I consider and what should I look for?
And just in case anyone is familiar, I’m looking for universities in Michigan if anyone has any suggestions.
I don’t know program specifics in Michigan, but when I was looking for a political science program in Texas I realized there were many factors to consider.
1) Which program is more writing intensive, which will help me in law school?
2) Which program has different tracks (i.e. public policy, international relations, pre-law, etc.)?
3) Which program in my state is the most prestigious?
4) Does a certain program have an affiliation or agreement with a law school?
I ended up picking Texas A&M because it has one of the best programs in the country for political science.
