Have you ever wondered how government impacts your everyday life? Are you passionate about issues such as law, national security, education, health, or environmental policy? Do you want to learn about governments in other parts of the world, or grapple with vexing issues such as terrorism and globalization? Do you want to learn a language such as Spanish, German, French, Arabic, or Chinese to better understand a country or region? If so, a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science will help you develop the communication, analytical, leadership, and problem-solving skills to succeed in the classroom and on the job market. A Bachelor of Arts in Political Science prepares students for a wide range of careers in business, campaign management, education, federal, state, and local government, interest groups and non-governmental organizations, law, and public and international affairs.
