A Professional Development Course for Political Science Undergraduates
In: PS: political science & politics, Band 56, Heft 1, S. 154-157
Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article describes a course designed to help political science majors formulate career goals, apply for internships and full-time positions, and eventually succeed on the job. Students benefit from exposure to guest speakers representing a range of careers and from collaborations with other campus institutions (e.g., the career center and graduate programs). Additionally, students produce job-market materials that highlight how their education has prepared them for life and work. Offering a similar professional-development course can help departments to increase enrollments and majors by increasing students' confidence in the career prospects associated with their major.
