This investigation has been developed by four undergraduate political science students and is the result of several months of effort and dedication. The goal was to conduct a comparative analysis of the political science student. This paper does not pretend to be a completed work, but rather an initial exploration into the topic. For this study, we tried to build a model profile of the political science and public administration student taking into consideration three variables: political culture, or the students’ pre-existing idea about political science, motive, as the more idyllic aspect of the profession, responding to the question “why do I study political science?”, and expectations, understood as the direction and goals the student seeks in the field.
