A degree in political science provides students with knowledge and understanding of political issues and prepares them for a career in fields such as:

  • Civil service
  • Journalism
  • Management
  • Politics
  • Legislative analysis
  • Criminology
  • City planning
  • Population studies

Students can combine the major with teaching credentials and teach government, political science and civics in secondary schools. If a student plans to go on to the graduate level, the political science major provides excellent background for law school or graduate school in political science, sociology, economics or a number of other social science disciplines.

Career Services offers a number of programs and services designed to help students plan their career, including workshops, internships and placement services after graduation
