B.A. in Political Science
What is Political Science?
Political Science is so much more than “politics”. The study of Political Science is the study of international, domestic, and comparative perspectives that influence power, politics, and policies. Political scientists get to explore how power is legitimized, how it operates and how it shapes our world. Political Science studies individual and collective values but also how people navigate societies rules and institutions.
