The field of political science is a vast and interesting field of study. There are a wide variety of PhD’s working in political science and examining the political issues of the day. There are countless other individuals with undergraduate and master’s degrees in the field. Essentially, the work of a political scientist is that of studying the state. Much of political science involves studying the political systems, behavior, and culture of a given society. Many things can be gleamed from such studies, allowing us to make contrasts and comparisons to other systems around the world.
Chad Harp had always had a strong interest in the world of politics. This led him to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where he pursued a degree in political science. He recently graduated magna cum laude with a GPA of 3.96. During his studies, he often went after every opportunity he could to get involved in political work in the area.
Eventually, this led him to work for the Republican National Committee in Las Vegas during the past election cycle in 2012. This meant that Chad Harp was able to campaign for prominent Republican candidates for president (including Mitt Romney) and local races in the Las Vegas area. The work was incredibly exciting and very educational for Chad Harp. He was able to see first hand what goes on behind the scenes in political campaigns and within a party itself.
While Chad Harp enjoyed the study of political science very much, it isn’t quite where his full passion lies. Currently, Chad Harp is the vice president of a venture capital investment business, where his mind and heart are currently located. He will be attending the University of Nevada, Las Vegas this fall to earn his MBA. This MBA will give him the necessary skills to succeed in the investment field while also making it possible for him to engage in politics later in life.
