We believe in the power of interdisciplinary education. Our programs often intersect, allowing students to gain a broader perspective on public service and global affairs. We offer eight undergraduate majors, several minors, and one graduate program.
Exceptional practical experiences are integral to our curriculum. Students have opportunities for internships, research trips, and fieldwork at both local and national levels to apply their knowledge in real-world settings.
Our faculty members are experts in their respective fields, committed to providing quality education, mentoring, and conducting impactful research. With the support of faculty advisors, undergraduate students are strongly encouraged to double major, add a minor, or explore accelerated 4 + 1 programs (bachelors and masters) based on career goals.
The school hosts a variety of clubs and programs for student engagement such as CIVIC, Global Language, Legal Studies, Mock Trial, and Model United Nations.
Located in the A.J. Palumbo Academic Center in the center of downtown Erie, an array of local internship opportunities are just blocks from campus including City Government, Museums, Political Campaigns, Arts & Culture Organizations, Local Newspapers, Non-Profits, and Major Corporate Headquarters.
