Center for the Study of Democratic Performance.

The Department has recently established the Center for the Study of Democratic Performance to promote research on how democratic institutions and processes affect voting, representation, policy making, and similar issues. The goal of the Center is to assess the extent to which the practice of democracy, through its impact on these issues, conforms to democratic ideals. To accomplish this end, the CSDP provides research support for Center faculty and graduate students, research assistantships to exceptional undergraduate students, sponsors lectures and conferences, and maintains a working paper series on its web site.

Our Department is a Top Ranked Political Science Program

Simon Hix at the London School of Economics and Political Science recently published a world-wide ranking of political science departments in the Political Studies Review. Based on publications in 63 political science journals, the ranking incorporates the quantity of publications, journal prestige and size of the department faculty. Over the five year period from 1998 to 2002 (the most recent data available), the Department of Political Science at Florida State ranks 9th among American public universities, 17th among all US universities (public and private) and 24th in the world.

Our Department is Top Ranked in Placing Ph.D. Students in Academic Positions

FSU's department has been ranked 22nd among all U.S. universities and 8th among public universities based on the success of its Ph.D. graduates in the academic job market. The study by Schmidt and Chingos was published in the July 2007 issue of PS, Political Science & Politics. The rankings looked at the overall percentage of new Ph.D.s who hold tenure-track positions in political science as well as the influence of the universities where they were employed.
