Local, state, and federal governments are built on a complex structure of systems, issues, ideas, processes, and policies. In this program, students will examine the science behind politics and the factors that help make governments work. As a political science major, students will explore modern-day political issues – like health care and education – and study the history of governments around the world. Students will learn about topics related to globalization, American presidencies, political revolutions, civil rights, and more. Students gain practical exposure to the field through internships with the legislature, political campaigns, and other hands-on learning opportunities.
