This program is an amazing opportunity for aspiring political science majors who are looking to be put on the right path. This program fosters a diverse community, encouraging students to explore their interests in research, which is crucial as an undergraduate while building meaningful connections.

The PS-PSI 2023 brought 19 juniors and seniors in college considering a PhD in political science to the Georgetown campus.

Students had the opportunity to meet other undergraduate students with similar interests, and to interact and network with university leadership, faculty, and graduate students from Georgetown University. Throughout the week, they were introduced to the goals, substance, and methods of political science; what applying to graduate school entails; the experience of being a graduate student and political scientist, and the careers that political science PhDs can pursue. They presented their own research proposals and workshopped graduate application materials.
