Pi Sigma Alpha
Pi Sigma Alpha, the National Political Science Honor Society, is the only honor society for college students of political science and government in the United States. Pi Sigma Alpha is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS) and is designated as a "Specialized, Upper-Division" society by ACHS. The almost 700 local chapters of Pi Sigma Alpha promote worthwhile curricular and extracurricular activities related to political science (e.g. conferences, seminars, research, discussion groups, study groups, etc.) to stimulate scholarship and intelligent interest in political science
The University of Michigan – Dearborn is currently applying for a Pi Sigma Alpha chapter. We hope to recruit the first class of members in the Winter 2010 term. Members for this honors society will be selected through a competitive process.
Political Science Club
The Political Science Club is a non-partisan group of students interested in discussing, exploring, and building experience and knowledge in politics and public policy. The group meets regularly to discuss current issues of relevance in the political world. It also hosts guest speakers and other events that contribute to a better understanding of policy and politics. Membership is open to all students at the University of Michigan-Dearborn.
