Our recent graduates have gone on to graduate schools, law schools, careers in government,  development, work with nongovernmental organizations, advocacy groups, and private firms.  One recent graduate, Frank Kratovil  ’90, was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 2008.  Several have careers in government agencies (on the federal and state level),  several are lobbyists, and many are with prestigious law firms or in private practice.

Of those who have obtained Ph.D.s in the field, a few of them are already tenured professors.  One of our students is currently interning with Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, and hopes to stay on Capitol Hill when he graduates this year.  A graduate is serving in a high level capacity at the Department of Homeland Security working on Counter-terrorism. Many work for the National Security Agency (having been recipients of the NSA Scholarship while here at McDaniel).  Several have gone abroad for graduate studies at The University of London’s School of African and Oriental Studies, the London School of Economics, and the Sorbonne in France. Some of our graduates from Budapest are in similar governmental positions in Hungary.  We have a student working with the Mayor of Budapest, several involved in national politics, and many in graduate programs in Hungary as well.
