BA Political Science

Politics stands squarely within the liberal arts. It s the study of how communities make decisions, pursue justice, and manage conflict in order to understand how political institutions connect to human flourishing. As a politics and international relations student at Wheaton, you ll be equipped with knowledge about politics and government, methods for analyzing political actors and institutions, and the ability to apply biblical and theological perspectives to public life. We offer a wide range of courses, events, and programs all designed to give students the analytical, conceptual, and theological tools so crucial for Christians who seek to understand and act faithfully in a rapidly changing political world.
