Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with Specialization in Legal Studies
Program Overview
Political science is the study of the fundamental values, interests, processes, tools and actors that play a role in making decisions. Political scientists explore ideas fundamental to the human condition such as power, justice, equality, and legitimacy; examine how laws and policies are enacted and enforced in the United States and elsewhere; compare and contrast the political institutions, policy processes and policy outcomes across nations; investigate how countries cooperate and compete in the international system; and uncover the ways in which power differentials between individuals, social groups, countries and geographies shape the world we are living in. Any issue that touches human lives is the subject matter of political science.
In the Political Science Department at Seattle University we offer courses on political philosophy; U.S. politics; law and legal studies; comparative politics; international relations; political economy; and studies of race, gender, sexuality, and class.
We prepare students for career success, leadership and social responsibility. Many students attend law school or graduate school after graduation. Our network of alumni works at local and national government institutions, non-governmental organizations, law firms and other legal entities, and a range of other public and private jobs.
The political science legal studies specialization addresses student interest in legal reasoning; the role of law in politics, society, and the economy; and the legal basics of modern democracy and theories of justice. It is most broadly concerned with the legal foundations of modern society and politics, and it addresses questions of justice, power, and order from the perspective of the liberal arts. It is intended to prepare students for many possible careers and future courses of study.
