Studying Political Science at UVU gave me the opportunity to connect the theory taught in the classroom to the real-world issues happening all over the world. The professors in the program connect the concepts we discuss in the classroom to current events, which gave me an edge while interning and presenting at conferences. It’s clear the professors in the program care about the academic and professional success of all their students. As a direct result of their efforts, I am in a job I enjoy with the skills I need to succeed.
