Insights
Do research and create new knowledge to develop as a political scientist.
Research is like solving a mystery—you never know where it might lead. Previous research lab topics have included examining the role of presidential politics in state supreme court elections and fielding public opinion surveys to better understand how people think about politics and policy. Research lab graduates have gone on to successful careers in politics, law school and nonprofits.
The Poli Sci Research Lab
One of the most unique opportunities we provide is the UW-Green Bay Political Science Research Lab. This is a research-based course where theory meets real life as you gain experience collecting and analyzing data. Study elections. Conduct polls. Regardless of what you do in the course, you'll stand out to future employees, and may even have your research published.
