Department of Political
Science
Alumni
The political science major at Hofstra has for
many years provided excellent preparation for a variety of
professions. Many of the department's alumni and alumnae, for
example, have gone on to excellent schools of law (including Harvard,
Yale, Columbia, Hofstra, NYU, St. John's, Chicago, Fordham, Michigan,
Duke, Berkeley, Cornell, and many, many others), and then to
distinguished careers in law. In addition to many lawyers in
solo private practice, the department's graduates can be found in
distinguished law firms from coast to coast, including, for example,
in New York, Shearman & Sterling, Davis Polk & Wardwell,
Rivkin, Radler & Kremer, and Franklin & Gringer; in
Washington, Cutler & Stanfield; in Philadelphia, Beasley, Casey
& Erbstein; in Los Angeles, McClintock Weston; in San Francisco,
McCutchen, Doyle, Brown & Enersen. A number of the department's
graduates also work in local government, particularly in Nassau
County. One alumna is currently a judge of the New York State Supreme
Court. However, law is just one possible career option for graduates of
the political science department. The political science major is a
door that can open many different kinds of opportunities. It is
excellent preparation for a wide variety of careers and occupations.
