Truman School of Government and Public Affairs

On Friday, May 15, the University of Missouri Political Science Department graduated five Doctoral Candidates and two Master of Arts Candidates.

Congratulations to our political science graduates! We wish we could celebrate with you in person, but for now we will have to cheer from afar. We are so proud of your success, growth, and accomplishments. You have made the University of Missouri proud, and we cannot wait to see what you do from this day forward.

Congratulations class of 2020!

Political Science Academic Advisor Rebecca Fallon has won the Excellence in Academic Advising Award for the 2019-20 academic year. This award goes to an academic advisor who has met the following criteria.

In a paper entitled "The Future of Work in Missouri: Rural-Urban Differences in Entrepreneurship" published in the Missouri Policy Journal, Number 9 (Spring/Summer 2020), Low, Sanders, and White discuss the trends and differences in entrepreneurship across metro-rural regions in Missouri. With trends shifting towards self-employment, how can a "slow growth" state like Missouri cultivate support for start-ups that helps convert small businesses into established employers?

On May 1, the department held our annual awards reception online via Zoom, honoring our undergraduate and graduate student scholarship winners.
