About Us:

The Undergraduate Political Science Association is a non-partisan, student-run organization sponsored by the political science department to serve the needs of all students interested in the study of politics. Our mission and purpose is to assist and encourage students to expand their knowledge of political science and to apply that knowledge to the real world. UPSA accomplishes this by offering academic assistance to enrich the education of students, by building meaningful relationships between political science professors and students, and by establishing a sense of community among the department's students.
