Academic advising
The first level of advising is your academic advisor. Your advisor is there to help you make the most of your experience at Iowa State from the beginning. Academic advisors help prospective students and their families learn about the political science program, help new students become oriented to the department and university, and support current students throughout their time in the program if they have questions, concerns, or seek help planning for the future. Your advisor can support you by connecting you with resources on campus and in the community and by helping you to develop decision-making, problem-solving, and self-advocacy skills.
Iowa State University’s Political Science Club provides social and career opportunities for students interested in fields related to politics, policy, and international relations. Students from all majors are welcome to join or attend. Read more about the club in an Iowa State Daily story.
Iowa State is home to many other different clubs and organizations, many of which are available to students in any major. Visit the ISU Student Organizations website to find something that interests you!
