I’d say that Tulane could be a very interesting place to study political science because the system is a little unique. I believe they are the only state using an open primary system with a runnoff in the general election if nobody recieves 50% of the vote. Given the cultural and political divides in the state this creates some real machinations. Even within the city of New Orleans the politics are not what you would expect in a normal big city.

As I have said elsewhere Tulane also has deep scholarly insight into Latin America and a lot of interdisciplinary programs that would be of interest to anyone studying political science.

I would also suggest that anyone truly interested in poltical science also take a look at the political economy program. It is one of Tulane’s jewels.
