About Us

The study of political science can strengthen a student's understanding of the meaning of their citizenship, regardless of country, and can enhance a student's appreciation of democracy, both at the level of the individual citizen and of the state. The political science major and its related coursework can also build a foundation for many types of future employment. Many political science majors are preparing for graduate study or law school. Others intend to pursue careers in journalism, nonprofit groups, public policy, government, or business.
