Political Science
What is political science?
Political science is the study of governments, power, decision-making, public policy
and political behavior in local, national and international politics. A political
science degree combines skills in oral and written communication, history, culture,
statistics and quantitative analysis, and research literacy. This combination of skills
makes political science majors highly competitive in a constantly changing job market.
