The BS program in Political Science is useful for students who are looking for careers that require analytical thinking and quantitative skills.
Students study how citizens interact with their governments and how governments at all levels formulate policies to serve, or not serve, their citizens. From domestic elections and lobbying to the international issues of terrorism, diplomacy and empowerment, students can apply what they learn as they explore innovative approaches to today's emerging local, national and global challenges.
The program offers a variety of courses and opportunities to study politics and public policy at the local, national and global levels. By providing experience with the analysis of political statistics, this degree program acquaints students with quantitative application skills.
