CHAIR OF THE DEPARTMENT: Professor Beck
DIRECTOR OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES: Professor Cohen

The faculty and program of the Wilf Family Department of Politics represent the five major fields of modern political science, namely, analytical politics, political theory, American government, comparative politics, and international politics.

Many graduates of the program enter law school. However, the orientation of the department is not strictly preprofessional, and its students are well prepared to enter a number of fields: teaching, business, journalism, government (including the foreign service), social work, urban affairs, and practical politics. For details on the undergraduate program, consult: www.nyu.edu/gsas/dept/politics/undergrad/undergrad_requirements.shtml.

The honors program provides an opportunity for outstanding students to undertake specialized advanced work and independent research during their senior year. For details on this program, see below and www.nyu.edu/gsas/dept/politics/undergrad/undergrad_requirements.shtml#honors_program.
