The department's faculty work closely with students to expand their political and international awareness, their aspirations, and their abilities. The department encourages political science students to complement their major with a minor in another field. This combination enhances career preparation and expands future options for students looking forward to law school or graduate school, teaching, work in government, political office or business.

Of the fourteen Political Science majors who graduated in May 2007, three have gone on to graduate school, one at George Washington University in Security Policy Studies and two at Georgetown University, one in Democracy Studies and one in Health Systems Administration. Another two majors have gone to law school, one at Fordham University and one at Widener University. Two others have joined Teach for America, one is on the staff of a U.S. Congressman, and one entered medical school at the Philadelphia School of Osteopathic Medicine.
