It's Your Education, Make an Informed Choice.

With a bachelor of science in political science, students will be prepared to meet at the crossroads of theory and practice. A rigorous education in political, historical, and economic matters both present and throughout history will impart context to current world events. Issues involving political thought, governments, constitutional bodies, law, international issues, and theories of justice will be discussed and analyzed. To aid with the process of understanding and to prepare students to take on real responsibilities outside of the classroom, research and analytical methods will also be taught so as to train a critical eye with which to understand information and trends. Clear, concise, and effective communication is also important to the degree, so students will receive a foundation in many traditional liberal arts disciplines as well.

Political science is a great degree through which successful graduates can affect the world around them. Careers are available as a lawyer, politician, political consultant, campaign manager, political correspondent, lobbyist, and market researcher. Some political scientists make over $80,000 a year. In an increasingly global world, a bachelor of science in political science will train students to deal with real issues affecting the world and provide deep perspective on the debates of our time. As a result, many careers requiring forward-thinking and trend analysis will be viable options for graduates of political science.
