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.
