While I wasn’t a government major, I have a few friends who were, and all were very happy with the program, in particular with the teaching. I apologize if you were already on these websites, but this one shows you how proud the department is of the faculty who have been/are part of the program: http://wesleyan.edu/gov/about_department/index.html
And this site gives you a good sense of the breadth of the department and the career aspirations of current majors: http://wesleyan.edu/gov/for_majors/index.html
Current majors are doing things like interning for the State Department (foreign affairs), going to study at King’s College London, interning in a Senator’s office, interning in a Representative’s office, interning with the US Senate Budget Committee as well as Booz Allen Hamilton, and many who are planning on going to law school.
For what it’s worth, small LAC Wesleyan currently claims a US Senator from Colorado and the Governor of Colorado, and until just last year, the Governor of Vermont.
