Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with Emphasis in American Politics

Program Overview

Immerse yourself in the politics and cultures of other countries to forge a more meaningful understanding of how the world works on a systematic level.  Political science is the study of government, public policy and the political behavior of individuals and groups. Students in the Bachelor of Arts in Political Science program with an emphasis in Comparative Politics dive into the study of domestic politics, political institutions and conflicts of countries. Students learn to analyze and compare countries, emphasizing key patterns of similarity and difference. They also examine politics from humanistic and scientific perspectives, honing applicable skills such as critical thinking and communication along the way. Students often take advantage of important opportunities, such as internships at government agencies, like the Arizona Legislature and Arizona Superior Court, and with local politicians and campaigns.
