BA Political Science

As a political science major, you will be at the forefront of analyzing the underlying problems that continue to afflict our societies.

While learning about topics such as why democracies rise and fall, what qualities make for an effective leader or why some states have stronger economies or governments than others, you will develop the ability to synthesize complex information, communicate effectively and present logical arguments based on evidence.

A political science major provides excellent preparation for a wide range of fields, including law, government, public and non-profit service, journalism, management, policymaking, finance and communications.
