HSI Undergraduate Career Readiness Intervention: Preparing UCR Political Science Majors for the Job Market
Abstract
The undergraduate political science program at UCR serves a higher proportion of students who are underrepresented minorities, first-generation, or Pell Grant recipients. Employment outcomes for this group could be better, but the institution itself is not geared for such an intervention. The Department of Political Science introduced its own career intervention initially as a series of career workshops and then as a single-credit course. The course format was helpful in some ways but still fell short of faculty expectations.
