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
