Political Science

Political scientists are at the heart of finding solutions to some of today's most hotly debated issues - scientific ethics, economic policies, environmental issues, to name a few.  They must have the ability to see beyond party lines and ideologies and to understand the machinations of our complex system of government.  As a political science major you study American politics, political philosophy, public affairs, comparative politics and international politics.  

Employment opportunities include:

• Elected or appointed official
