The December 2006 APSA report, “Trends in the Political Science Profession” (Sedowski andBrintnall 2006; Brintnall 2005), noted that the number of political science jobs posted on eJobsreached an all-time high for the academic year. Thirty-six percent of those jobs were inB.A.-granting institutions, institutions most likely to include a focus on liberal artsteaching. Similarly, results from the most recently available department chairs' survey showthat almost one-third of all graduates in 2002, including those in non-academic employment,obtained jobs in B.A. institutions (Lopez 2003).In response to these circumstances, the Political Science Education Section has, at recentAPSA annual meetings, including 2007's meeting, sponsored a short course titled, “Getting aJob at a Teaching Institution—and Then Succeeding!” For this article we have drawn on ourexperiences in the short course—and in interviewing, hiring, mentoring, and evaluatingcolleagues at a range of liberal arts colleges—to compile a list of frequently askedquestions and their answers. B.A.-granting institutions are highly diversified, as evidencedby the authors' own affiliations. Still, after much discussion, we are confident that theadvice offered here is broadly applicable to colleges focusing upon the liberal arts andundergraduate education. However, applicants should always research the mission and thecorresponding commitments of the institutions at which they are seeking employment.
