Political Science Faculty

At CSB+SJU, you’ll get to know your faculty, since the average class size is just 19. And 100% of those classes are taught by members of our faculty – as opposed to graduate assistants. As a Bennie or Johnnie, you’ll learn from and build relationships with experienced, distinguished professors and mentors who are recognized experts in their fields. In fact, 85% of our full-time faculty members hold the highest degree in their field.
