Bachelor of Science [B.S] Political Science

  • Political Science is the study of the formal institutions of government and the actual behavior of people in public life. It examines both the institutions and processes of government using both empirical and normative research methodologies. A degree with a major in political science is of value to all persons who take the responsibilities and opportunities of membership in a democratic society seriously.
  • Specifically, political science is the undergraduate major of a majority of persons who attend law school; serves as a prerequisite for graduate study in a number of social science disciplines; and is an ideal liberal art major for careers in business, journalism, public and international affairs, the federal government, state and local government, teaching, interest groups, campaign management, communications, and many others.
  • Supervised internships and cooperative study programs at sites in business, industry, and government are available and students are strongly urged to participate.
