"Are you interested in American politics? International affairs? Critical issues such as health, the environment, civil rights? Theories concerning the ideal government and how power and resources are allocated in society? Do you want to study these subjects and pursue a career based upon your interests?
As a political science major, you will hone the writing, communication, analytical and computer skills that are critical to a liberal arts education.
This kind of education will prepare you to think critically and independantly, with tolerance for others and concern for current affairs.
Majoring in political science can qualify you for many different careers in private for-profit and nonprofit organizations, as well as public sector organizations, including careers in business, law, consulting, state, local, and federal government, journalism and communications, international organizations, finance, political campaigns, interest groups, community service and non-government organizations (NGOs), and pre-college and college teaching.
