Political science is the study of conflict and cooperation within societies. In order to make sense of the political world, political scientists investigate concepts such as justice, liberty, representation and democracy. During the course of your studies, you'll gain statistical analysis skills, research capabilities, written and verbal communication skills, and knowledge of the international political community. As a political science graduate, you'll be prepared for career opportunities in areas such as politics, the non-profit sector, and the business world. A degree in political science can also be used as a stepping-stone to graduate studies or another professional degree such as law, medicine, veterinary medicine, or education.
