<p>Uhhh, Political Science, Econ, and Social Sciences in general have been Swarthmore’s specialty for decades. It is the number one producer of poli sci/government PhDs. (per graduate) of all universities and colleges in the United States. It is also the number one per graduate producter of Economics PhDs in the country. As well as the number one per capita producer of all social science PhDs.</p>
<p>In addition to War News Radio which is both syndicated and podcast each week and had a former NPR producer hired by the college to guide the students, the college produces fairly steady stream of political active organizations, including a signficant Darfur organization started by undergrads, and a Swarthmore student who was one of the three MTV correspondents travelling to Dharfur. A good portion of the senior class each year moves to Washington DC and becomes active in some area of public policy.</p>
