An education in political science prepares
you to deal with challenges encountered
in both the public and private sectors.
With an emphasis on global connections across cultural groups and ideologies.
Importantly, as a political science major
you'll hone the communication and analytical
skills necessary for success in today's complex, multidimensional world.
If the drive is there, you can make something happen for yourself.
When I was a senior in high school, I was
nominated for the Morehead at UNC-Chapel Hill
and at NC State and then the honors college here at ECU.
I ultimately chose to come to ECU because I came to a preview event
and I got to speak to some of the faculty members.
There's a lot of research opportunities in
the Department of Political Science
and I'm fortunate enough to work with one of the faculty pretty closely on independent research.
When you talk to your advisor, they will help
you cause if they see that you want something.
They will honestly help you and try to get
you to the best potential.
We get emails like almost every day about
internship opportunities for political science students.
And one of the ones that I was most fortune
to partake in was with the United Kingdom's Parliament.
For the spring semester, I am planning on
working with Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Gambia.
I worked on the Life, Liberty, Happiness project.
That was involving everything from stuffing envelopes to developing some of the graphics for the survey
to being in the conversations about what the question format should look like.
The skills that I learned here at ECU as an
undergraduate political science major will
help me so much in my future career.
This is the place to come to.
I have not regretted one single day of coming to East Carolina University.
It's been the best experience in my life.
