Requirements l Faculty

The major in Political Science will prepare our students to understand the basic principles of this discipline, with a special focus on four of its main divisions, i.e., political theory, American government, international studies, and public administration. Upon completion of the requirements of this major our students will be better prepared for continued study at the graduate level in political studies, law or several of the related areas well served by this academic foundation.

These studies provide the necessary background for careers such as those in teaching, research, public administration, the non-profit sector, journalism, law, international service, affairs or business, government or elective office, and public service. Political science is as old as the Athenians and as current as today's newspapers, yet its study, especially in a democracy such as ours, serves to inform those who will be taking over positions of power and responsibility in the very near future.
