Political Science
The main objective of Political Science courses is to prepare students to use rigorous research methods and critical thinking in their analysis of theories and institutions appropriate to the discipline and its subfields. Students study Political Science for a variety of reasons. Foremost among them is that Political Science provides a broad liberal arts education that is focused on politics and public life. This makes students of Political Science well suited for careers in law, government, business, and journalism. Many undergraduates use their majors as a foundation to pursue graduate degrees in Political Science or in related humanities and social science disciplines such as Philosophy or Sociology.
