Welcome to the Department of Political Science & Geography

Our Faculty: We have 16 Political Scientists and 3 Geographers on our faculty. All faculty members have Ph.D.s, many from the top-25 departments in the country. Our faculty members routinely win national and university grants, fellowships, and teaching awards. Several faculty members have worked for the U.S. government and advised foreign governments. Others are long-time Texas residents with intimate knowledge of state and local politics. Our Program: We offer a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Political Science, as well as six minors (Political Science, Geography, Global Analysis, International Studies, Latin American Studies, and Public Administration). We also have a rapidly growing Master of Arts (MA) program, with specializations in American Government, International Politics, Political Economy, and Political Theory and Public Law. The American Government specialization includes concentrations in Political Communications and Behavior, and American Institutions and Processes. Our Students: We have about 330 UTSA undergraduate students majoring in Political Science and about 60 active graduate students. Our students come from diverse backgrounds, with many becoming first-generation college graduates.
