Major in Political Science
Are you interested in American politics? International affairs?
Critical issues such as health, the environment, civil rights?
Do you want to study these subjects and pursue a career based
on your interest? If so, you should select political science as
a major. Political science is the study of government and public
policy and the political behavior of individuals and groups. Political
science uses both humanistic and scientific perspectives and skills
to examine the United States, all countries and regions of the
world, and international relations. Political science majors acquire
skills in writing, communications, and analysis that are critical
to a liberal arts education. A liberal arts education prepares
students to think independently, with tolerance for others and
concern for current affairs.
