Any student may meet with a Political Science adviser. Sign up for an appointment using our online system. Appointments must be made at least one day in advance. Appointments are required to talk about an issue or question that requires more than a few minutes to answer (progress checks, course planning, academic difficulty, returning students, graduate and professional school, career discussion, etc.), or to see a particular adviser.

If you would like to meet with an adviser but are not a UW student with a NetID, email us at polsadvc@uw.edu to make an appointment.

  • Internships in and around Seattle, in Olympia with the Washington State Legislature, in Washington, D.C., and abroad: Do an internship and gain professional experience.
  • Research: Get involved in faculty research or pursue your own research agenda with faculty support.
  • Study Abroad: How study abroad courses can be used to fulfill requirements for your major and degree.
