<p>So pretty much every school has a Political Science Dept. Can I count on the professors and resources of the PoliSci Dept at SMC to be good enough to dedicate 4 years to? </p>
<p>If anyone majors in it I'd really appreciate an inside perspective.</p>
<p>Hello DJQ1717–</p>
<p>Not only are the professors in the Political Science program quite strong ([PoliSci</a> Faculty](<a href=“http://www.smcvt.edu/academics/politicalscience/faculty.asp]PoliSci”>http://www.smcvt.edu/academics/politicalscience/faculty.asp)) but the experiential learning component of the program is also quite deep. </p>
<p>Politics in Vermont are very accessible and students have excellent opportunities for internships both at the local and the state level while they are students at St. Mike’s. </p>
<p>Students can also take advantage of internships at the federal level. Senator Patrick Leahy is a graduate of Saint Michael’s College and serves as the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.</p>
<p>Caroline Bright would be an excellent student to ask about our PoliSci program. She is currently a senior PoliSci major (and also happens to be Miss Vermont!). She has a fantastic blog as well as a great FormSpring account (on the left side of her blog) where you can ask her any question (anonymously or not) that you’d like: [Caroline</a> Bright’s Blog](<a href=“carolinebright.net”>http://www.carolinebright.net/)!</p>
<p>I would encourage you to contact one of the professors of the PoliSci dept if you would like more specific information. </p>
<p>Hope this was of help!</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
