Learn more about Muhlenberg's top-ranked scientific-based research institute that tracks public opinion on key issues at the local, state and national levels.
Muhlenberg’s political science department seeks to educate and illuminate beyond the student body. Our highly engaged faculty lead several on-campus programs, organizations and event series that invite the campus community—and general public—to engage, discuss, debate and learn.
