BA Political Science

The Political Science major is designed to give students a practical and theoretical understanding of the political world. It is a skills based major which focuses on critical thinking, writing, analysis and information literacy.

Studying at Caldwell University has many advantages. Our department offers small class sizes with experienced faculty who are committed to your success. We offer a student centered experience which is challenging yet approachable. Our unique Dominican heritage is clearly evident in our courses as we seek the “truth” through fact finding, dialogue and engagement.

Special opportunities for Political Science majors include a variety of internship and cooperative education programs available with local government administrators, the New Jersey Historical Society, and the Grover Cleveland Birthplace. A Washington Semester program is available through American University, and study abroad options are possible. Independent study projects in all areas of history and political science are open to majors. Students may aspire to membership in Pi Sigma Alpha, the national political science honor society.
