Political Science Undergraduate Association

The Political Science Undergraduate Association is dedicated to advancing the academic and professional interests of UH students in the field of political science. The organization aims to foster a deeper understanding of political science topics through thoughtful engagement with students, faculty, and the wider community.

To achieve these goals, PSUA will create opportunities for networking and intellectual exchange, supporting students in their academic and career pursuits. Acting as a bridge between students and faculty, PSUA will provide an inclusive environment that encourages discourse on both theoretical and practical aspects of political science. To further these objectives, PSUA will organize a variety of events, including guest lectures from experts in political science, informational meetings, group discussions, academic seminars, and career development events.

These activities are designed to enrich members’ academic experience and connect them with resources that support their professional growth. Through these efforts, PSUA strives to contribute meaningfully to the academic life of its members and the UH community. The PSUA constitution can be downloaded here.
