Bachelor of Arts - Political Science

At its core, being a political science student means learning and evaluating how power is created, maintained, and used in human activities.

Beyond merely knowing how governments work, this major gives students the intellectual tools to understand how people think and why they do what they do in virtually any arena. 

Understanding power dynamics is an extraordinarily useful skill that is applicable in any professional setting, be it the public, private, or nonprofit sectors. Critical thinking never ceases to be useful, no matter where students go in life.

The resources available to students and the quality of the faculty are both enviable.
