Message from the Chair
A warm welcome to the Wilf Family Department of Politics at New York University. We are a thriving intellectual community devoted to the systematic analysis of political phenomena. The Department has almost 40 faculty spanning the frontiers of research in the field of Political Science. We serve over 550 students enrolled in our two undergraduate majors (Politics and International Relations), making us one of the largest undergraduate programs in the College of Arts and Science. Our graduate program produces outstanding scholars who go on to prestigious academic and private sector careers (you can find our Ph.D. placement record here). Our goal is to create an inclusive and diverse community that excels in advancing our understanding of politics, through both pathbreaking research and instruction.
