Political science includes basic issues in governance; political structures, processes, and controls; social conditions; and intergovernmental relations. This program helps you prepare to be an informed citizen or public servant; to succeed in a wide variety of careers; or to engage in further study of government, politics, or law.

In addition to the Bachelor of Arts and the minor in political science, the department offers specialized advising for prelaw students and teacher preparation in social studies. An Associate of Arts with a concentration in political science is described in the School of Arts and Sciences section of Part 3.

Prelaw Program and Advising

Advising for prelaw students is provided by faculty in the political science department. Although no specific major is usually required for admission to law school, prelaw students can benefit greatly from the experience and analytical skills gained from the study of political science.
