Dr. Frank is a faculty member within the Department of History and Political Science at Anderson University. The Department of History and Political Science offers personal attention while preparing students for careers in government service, law, journalism, and teaching. It not only provides students with a solid foundation for graduate studies or law school, but also for a life of active citizenship.

The history and political science courses cover a wide range of cultures, social issues, and government practices and policies, providing students with an in-depth understanding of how cultures form, develop, and function. Small class sizes allow students greater opportunities for participation and interaction with professors. Additionally, students are encouraged to conduct independent research on topics of interest to them.

In addition to the in-depth courses offered in history and political science, hands-on learning is highly encouraged. Depending on students' professional career goals, internship experiences at all levels of government or in the legal profession provide invaluable opportunities to learn and become involved in the daily operations of these organizations.
