ELCOME TO OUR SITE! WE
have a fantastic group of majors. Recent honors include Truman Scholarships, Fulbright Scholarships, and a Watson Fellowship. Earlham Politics students have succeeded in stiff competition because of the rigorous academic training the Department provides as well as support for internships and related extracurricular work.

One important way in which the Politics faculty supports student academic work is by involving students in collaborative research with faculty, something that generally happens only in graduate school, but can happen at Earlham as early as the sophomore year. Recent faculty-student collaborative research has focused on conflict in Northern Ireland,  economic development in China, and the United Nations.

Students have held summer jobs as diverse as working in a prosecuting attorney's office, interning at the Carter Center, and teaching social studies to elementary school students. Recent alums include the Chief of Staff for the State of Ohio's Lieutenant Governor, a U.S. AID administrator in India, a medical doctor, an intern at the Friends Committee on National Legislation, several university professors, and a brief of lawyers. We hear frequently from alums in graduate study (at schools like Brandeis, Columbia, MIT, and Northwestern) who tell us how well their Earlham education has prepared them.
