Bachelor of Arts in Political Science
|
The Bachelor of Arts in Political Science is a combination of the best from the Liberal Arts and Social Sciences traditions. Students receive a strong foundation in the subdisciplines, from political philosophy and theory, through American institutions and across comparative politics and international relations, as well as in several methodologies. Consider, for example, the list of courses for the upcoming semester. Because of our small class sizes, instructors are able to work closely with students, cultivating relationships that lead to valuable experiences in and beyond the classroom. Collaboration in undergraduate research projects is encouraged, including the presentation of papers at professional conferences. We also offer travel-to-learn opportunities, including both domestic and international destinations. Political Science students have a tradition of earning fellowships in Washington, DC, and scholarships in law schools and graduate programs, as well as opportunities in as well as service in Americorps. Please consult the information contained in "Careers for Graduates," "Contacts for Careers" and "Foreign Affairs Positions," all of which appear are linked on this page. Our program has been instrumental in preparing students for post-graduate work in law school, graduate school, service government at the state, local and national levels, and careers in the private sector. If you are considering a life in the law, a career in government, in the private sector, or in non-governmental agencies, please contact one of our colleagues listed on this page. The B.A. in Political Science is one of the best gateway degrees to post-graduate opportunities. We will be happy to chat with you about your future and the program of study in Political Science.
