B.A. Political Science and M.A. Political Science

USA

What will I learn?

Studying political science will help you understand why courts make the decisions they do, why legislatures pass the laws they do, and why countries make the choices they make in the international arena. These and other vital questions are explored and explained through political theory, using scientific methods to gather evidence to test those theories and learning to create effective communication to share those results.
