Political Science

A major in political science opens the door to a variety of career possibilities, in and out of government. Whether we want big government or less government, the comprehensive character of political authority means that political science cannot avoid exploring the full range of human activities. Thus topics as current as environmental politics or trade with China and topics as timeless as human nature itself are part of political science.

Government service, government and business relations, management of nongovernmental organizations, environmental action, journalism, and law are just a few of the many professions for which political science provides a solid foundation.

The political science discipline offers courses in three areas: American politics, world politics, and political philosophy. Students are encouraged to take classes in all areas or focus their attention by selecting one of the concentration areas explained below.

Students considering graduate studies should consult an advisor about taking POSC 376 - Introduction to Methodology in Political Science . In addition to the courses listed here, STA 403 - China: Modernization and Tradition , is also available for political science credit. Students are urged to consider this opportunity to study abroad. See the Study Abroad section. Internship experience is also critical to a competitive political science degree. Please consult an advisor about the many internship opportunities.
