Pi Sigma Alpha

The Delta Lambda chapter of Pi Sigma Alpha, the national Political Science honor society, is located in the department.  The department grants admission to the honor society, although chapter activities are run by student-elected officers and chapter members.  Criteria for election to Pi Sigma Alpha include a minimum of 12 credits in Political Science courses with a GPA of at least 3.2 and an overall GPA of 3.0.  To apply for acceptance to Pi Sigma Alpha, a student must complete an application and return it with an unofficial transcript from the Records Office and the applicable fees to the Secretary in room 218, Thompson Hall.  Inquiries about the application process may be made to the Secretary or to the Pi Sigma Alpha Faculty Adviser.
