Political science is the study of government and politics. The major is divided into five areas: American government and politics, international politics, comparative politics, political theory, and public law. The program offers a variety of courses in each of these areas. Minors are offered in public administration, political science, legal studies and international relations.
Students gain an understanding of government and politics through a combination of directed research and experiential learning; e.g. participation in scholarly conferences and/or internships at the national, state or local level. Students may prepare for an array of career options in both the public and private sectors.
The Bachelor of Arts program in Political Science enables students to concentrate their studies either in Public Legal Studies, or Urban Civic Engagement, , or to develop a more individualized broader program of study under the General Political Science concentration.
