Bachelor of Arts in Political Science

In an environment of small classes and seminars supplemented by a rich array of special opportunities both on and off campus, an education in political science is about more than elections, treaties and lawmaking. Whether in this country or abroad, students gain a broad and challenging preparation for life in public affairs and commerce. Stetson's political science program offers opportunities to gain perspective beyond the traditional classroom setting.Not only does our political science program reach out locally within DeLand, it reaches into areas of the world such as Latin America, Europe and Washington D.C. Classrooms that are used for political science classes are equipped with the latest technology to help our students stay as up-to-date as possible. Political science students graduate with advanced skills in reading comprehension, both quantitative and qualitative social science analysis, analytical writing and logical argumentation.Outside experiences used to explore the world of political science are the study abroad program, our unique semester in D.C. program, facilitated internships, the Floyd M. Riddick Model United States Senate and Student Government Association. Campus involvement is a considerable part of the experience of the program here at Stetson causing our graduates to move on to some of the best graduate programs and law schools in the country and the world.
