Political Science
Studying public policy through a service lens nurtures the ability to find common ground in politics.
Develop a critical understanding of law, politics, and government, both national and international, and their relationships to social science.
We train students in political science as part of an interdisciplinary major in social science to help them prepare for future careers in business, education, government, journalism, law, and politics. You’ll make valuable career connections outside the classroom, too, as you seek practical experiences or internships for credit in government organizations, social service agencies, or other appropriate public or private agencies.
