We see you developing the knowledge and skills to make a difference in your world. With a Political Science major, you’ll learn about the people, processes, and institutions shaping how government works, policies are designed, and countries interact.
The major is multidisciplinary, giving you insight into how politics intersects with every discipline and field, making it easy to double major. Small student-centered classes will help you develop the critical thinking, communication, and teamwork skills valued by every employer.
Build on this strong foundation with additional leadership training, apply to be a Civic Engagement Advocate on campus, or apply for an internship with local elected officials.
This program is also available as a minor.
