Bachelor of Arts in Political Science

Program Overview

Unlike many undergraduate programs in political science, our faculty’s background and our location near New York City offers our political science majors and minors the chance to interact with every level of politics imaginable.

Students regularly attend public lectures and conferences on global affairs at NYC-based international organizations such as the United Nations. Professors organize special visits and theme-based class trips to the United Nations Development Program, the UN Security Council and UN-linked advocacy groups. An exciting part of the political science curriculum, the Harvard Model U.N. permits students to gain first-hand experience at the processes of conference diplomacy and negotiation that characterize international politics.

Learning Goals

  • Demonstrate an understanding of the theoretical foundations of classical and contemporary political systems, behaviors, thought and analysis
  • Be proficient in the application of those theoretical foundations in their own lives and in their interactions with others in their local political communities, the national political community and the broader international political community
  • Analyze and critically examine contemporary events in the communities of which they are part using the specific theoretical and practical tools to which they are introduced in each of the four disciplines
  • Scientifically analyze contemporary local, national, foreign and global events using the specific theoretical tool processes that correspond to the four political science disciplines.
