The Political Science program is designed for students who want to work in campaigns and government; teach government and history in high school; or who want a traditional liberal arts major which prepares them to think critically and enter a wide variety of business and other nongovernmental organizations. Our majors are also prepared for law school and graduate school. A minor is required. Courses cannot be counted in both the major and minor.
