Political science is the study of governments and institutions, political behavior and public policies. We use both humanistic and scientific approaches to examine critical issues in both the United States and globally. As a political science major, you will hone the writing, communication and analytical skills that are central to a liberal arts education and that will prepare you for professional careers or for further study of politics and law. Political scientists go on to work in government and nongovernmental organizations, law, journalism, nonprofits, national or international security, lobbying, education, activism, research and business. Political science training also provides valuable preparation for participating in politics and civic life.
US universities use a holistic admissions review. Beyond grades and standardized test scores, they weigh the strength of your overall profile to understand who you are as a student and a person.
Profile Assessment: Undergraduate applicants interested in law may choose Pre-Law, Political Science, Economics, History, Philosophy, International Relations or another field. Debate, Model United Nations, mock trials, student government, journalism, advocacy, research and community service may demonstrate critical thinking and communication.Advanced Placement(AP) Guidance: AP availability depends on the student's school. Relevant APs can strengthen an application and may earn university credit, but are not compulsory unless the university or programme explicitly requires them.Essays & recommendations: Personal essays and teacher/counselor recommendations give context to your achievements and help demonstrate fit with the program.Public Affairs SpecialistLegislative Affairs SpecialistLobbyistPolicy AdvisorResearch Analyst
