A Bachelor of Arts in Political Science gives students the tools to study the practice of politics, political institutions, and human behavior in the political world. This degree is a popular choice for students planning to pursue law school, but it also opens doors to careers in government, advocacy, and public service. Students learn how to research and analyze policies, understand political systems, and think critically about the forces that shape our communities and the world.
Graduates often work for government agencies, nonprofit organizations, lobbying groups, or political campaigns. Many continue their education in specialized fields like public administration, public policy, or international relations. The program also offers a Pre-Law concentration, designed for students who plan to attend law school. This option combines a Political Science major with a minor in either English or Journalism, giving students a strong foundation in reading, writing and analysis.
