The Department of Politics and International Affairs prepares our majors as informed citizens, policymakers, analysts, and leaders across the state, nation, and world. Graduates find success in politics and policy, governmental and non-governmental organizations, in fields such as law, business, and media, to name a few. Many alumni are admitted to highly regarded programs in graduate, policy, business, or law schools.
The Fredonia Difference

Students engage in short-term or semester-long study abroad for academic credit. Internships are available for credit at the local to the federal level, with funding support for internship programs in Albany and Washington D.C. Many students actively participate in Model European Union—in NYC and in Brussels, join Fredonia’s continued success in Mock Trial competition, as well as campus leadership. We complement diverse disciplines while enhancing career possibilities.
