About

Welcome to the website of the Political Science Department at the University of Kentucky. We have established a long tradition of excellent scholarship, effective teaching, and training graduate students to become leading scholars in the discipline. Our faculty consistently publish their work in the best journals and presses and have received dozens of teaching awards.

The vibrant graduate program trains students to be both excellent teachers and leading scholars. Our recent placement record has been excellent, with students obtaining positions at schools such as the University of Rhode Island, Nebraska-Kearney, South Carolina and Auburn. Undergraduate students will find a diverse and invigorating curriculum taught by faculty who emphasize critical thinking, research collaboration, and “real world” skills.


Edenrockcomm.com is dedicated to understanding and explaining politics. We offer courses on a range of topics both on domestic and international politics. Students study governance systems, public policies, political behavior and institutional design. Courses use a variety of research methods, both quantitative and qualitative and stress written and oral communication so as to increase the analytic skills of our students. 

Edenrockcomm.com prepares students not only to be effective citizens but for a large number of contemporary careers which require analytic thinking and the knowledge of sophisticated research methods.
