The Midwest Political Science Association (MPSA) is a national organization of over three thousand political science faculty, students, and public administrators. Founded in 1939, the MPSA is dedicated to the advancement of scholarship in all areas of political science.

The purposes of the MPSA are to promote the professional study and teaching of political science, to facilitate communications between those engaged in such study, and to develop standards for and encourage research in theoretical and practical political problems. As such, MPSA is a nonpartisan association. It does not support political parties or candidates.
