People
There are currently about 1,400 undergraduate Political Science majors at the University of Florida. Every year 75-100 students participate in our internship program with local, state, and federal agencies and legislative offices, allowing these students to see theory put into practice.
The Graduate Program is highly selective. Each year about 200 students apply for admission. Our entering classes number about 40 students. Approximately one-third of each year's class pursue Ph.D.'s, while two-thirds seek terminal M.A. degrees. We have M.A. programs that specialize in Political Campaigning, Public Affairs, International Development Policy and Administration, and International Relations. Our PhD students can choose among several fields of study, including American Government and Politics, Comparative Government and Politics, International Relations, Political Theory, Public Policy and Administration, Political Behavior, and Political Methodology.
