Political science explores the concerns and issues that animate public life. Using both humanistic and scientific approaches, it studies how political communities attempt to reconcile the claims of justice, power, liberty, and authority. Drawing on history, law, economics, psychology, sociology, and philosophy, political science is a broad-based social science that shares the traditional aims of liberal arts education while attempting to come to grips with the major public issues of our time.

“Politics” is inescapable; political orders and systems vary, but they are part of the framework of universal human experience. The Political Science concentration allows students to approach the basic issues politics presents, spread across five subfields: American Politics, Public Policy, Comparative Politics, International Relations, and Political Philosophy. The program offers students the flexibility to sample those subfields early on via our five “core” courses. Most upper-level courses allow students to connect with faculty and receive immediate feedback and support. Students with a Political Science concentration have many travel and internship opportunities specifically designed for the major, through the International Programs office. This combination of work experience and study abroad opens many doors and provides networking opportunities. Many graduates go on to law or graduate school, or move directly into the workforce in politics, education, non-profit work, and business.
