Pi Sigma Alpha, the national political science honor society, is open to graduate and upper level undergraduate students in political science who have achieved the required level of academic excellence. Membership is possible only through local chapters such as the one in this department.

Pi Sigma Alpha was founded in 1920 and is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies. There are nearly 600 chapters nationwide, with over 6500 new members added annually.

Our local chapter rules and the conditions established by the national organization require that students have declared political science or public administration as a major or minor, have attained at least junior standing with at least a 3.0 overall GPA, and have completed a minimum of 12 semester credits in political science or public administration courses at Oakland University to be considered for membership.

For more information, including meeting times and dates, consult the Nu Omega chapter of Pi Sigma Alpha at Oakland University.
