Years ago, UA was better academically than ASU but that is no longer true. While UA still has the edge for certain subjects (life sciences, astronomy, physics, and dance, come to mind), ASU is better for others. I don’t really know about either school’s political science department.

One difference you might consider is the location of the two schools. Tucson is much, much smaller than metropolitan Phoenix and consequently there is much less to do off-campus. Also, Phoenix can offer far more opportunities for internships and part-time/summer jobs.

Keep in mind that Phoenix is also the state capital. As a political science major, I would think that the the possibility of working with the State legislature or the governor’s office might be attractive to you.
