Understanding the political science student

Abstract

This investigation has been developed by four undergraduate political science students and is the result of several months of effort and dedication. The goal was to conduct a comparative analysis of the political science student. This paper does not pretend to be a completed work, but rather an initial exploration into the topic. For this study, we tried to build a model profile of the political science and public administration student taking into consideration three variables: political culture, or the students’ pre-existing idea about political science, motive, as the more idyllic aspect of the profession, responding to the question “why do I study political science?”, and expectations, understood as the direction and goals the student seeks in the field.
