What will I learn?

Understanding politics is the key to understanding how American democracy works. Learn about the collective decisions that shape our common fate. At Roosevelt, you’ll study the electoral process, the acquisition and exercise of power, the causes of war, political ideologies, political rhetoric, social movements, public policies and legal systems. At Roosevelt University, students approach the problems of the political world through the prism of social justice. You’ll ask what contributes to inequality, oppression, war and climate change. Most importantly, you’ll work together to discover possibilities for a more just and inclusive world. At Roosevelt, you’ll be deeply embedded in the local political community. Students have interned in organizations and with elected officials, like Roosevelt alum Rep. Mike Quigley.

Entry requirements

For international students

A freshman applicant is defined as an individual who has completed or will complete a high school degree or its equivalent and has fewer than 12 transferrable college credit hours. The admission requirements for freshman applicants are as follows: Roosevelt requires applicants to attain a cumulative unweighted high school GPA of 2.0 for at least 3 years of study. Self-reported information is accepted for most programs but an official transcript will be required if you are admitted to Roosevelt University. If you took dual enrollment classes at your local community college as part of your high school diploma, you will need to submit transcripts from your community college in addition to your high school transcripts. Roosevelt is test-optional. If you have taken the ACT or SAT we encourage you to send your scores, though these are not required for admission.
