HISTORY AND MISSION

Inaugurated in 2001 as the University of Georgia’s fourteenth college, SPIA was formed from the existing Department of Political Science in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences. The School’s founders believed that creating a separate school to focus on public and international affairs would bring enhanced recognition to the University and create a special institutional home for students interested in careers in public service. Created at the start of the twenty-first century, SPIA was viewed as “a new school for a new millennium,” designed to enhance civic engagement, public leadership, scholarship on political institutions and policy, and effective governance.

Emerging at a critical time in US history, SPIA’s existence since 2001 has coincided with public policy challenges and threats to democratic governance. Terrorist attacks, war, biological threats, financial crises, and political gridlock have undermined faith in the political process or reduced citizens’ optimism about the future. These challenges cannot be overcome without effective public servants and an informed electorate; SPIA’s mission is thus critical to the nation’s future. Now, more than ever, the nation and the world require scholars and students to focus their attention on the pressing policy and governance issues of the day.

POLITICAL SCIENCE

The Department of Political Science was founded in 1941 as part of UGA’s Franklin College of Arts and Sciences, and transferred to the new School of Public and International Affairs in 2001. As it approaches its 75th anniversary, the department claims an award-winning faculty and an extensive alumni network throughout Georgia and the nation. The Political Science faculty members are known for their influential research in areas such as political institutions, legislative behavior, political polarization, interest groups, public opinion, campaigns and elections, voting rights, Southern politics, judicial decision-making, state politics, political methodology, and political theory. With offices in Baldwin Hall, the Political Science Department includes 22 faculty members, 650 undergraduate students, and 32 graduate students.

BALDWIN HALL EXPANSION AND RENOVATION

Built in 1938, Baldwin Hall has served as a Navy Pre-Flight school during World War II and home to several UGA academic programs. The new Baldwin Hall Annex — to be completed in 2016 — will provide SPIA with Technology Enabled Active Learning (TEAL) classrooms; office space for faculty and graduate teaching assistants; and common areas for faculty, staff, and students. In addition to the new Annex for SPIA, Baldwin Hall will be renovated to provide academic departments with modern instructional facilities, greater accessibility for individuals with disabilities, and a more efficient mechanical system.

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

The Department of International Affairs was established in 2001 with the founding of the School of Public and International Affairs. Acknowledging the key importance of an educational program at the international level, SPIA’s founders created a world-class department offering instructional, research, and public service programs focusing on international relations and comparative politics. Faculty members in the Department of International Affairs have been recognized for their outstanding research, teaching, and mentoring, and have received many awards, such as the International Studies Association’s Distinguished Scholar Award, the UGA Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities Mentoring Award, and the UGA Blue Key Service Award. With offices in Candler Hall, the Department of International Affairs includes 16 faculty members, 750 undergraduate students, and 70 graduate students.
