Political science training also provides valuable preparation for participating in community organizations, electoral politics, movements on behalf of specific policies, or even seeking elected or appointed positions in government.
The Bachelor of Science with a major in political science provides a solid academic foundation by examining the formal institutions of governments around the world. The diverse curriculum allows students to select from a slate of American and international courses based on their interests while preparing for a wide range of careers or advanced degrees.
