Political science includes the study of individual and group political behavior, governing institutions and public policy. It uses a variety of qualitative and quantitative methods to study issues at the local, national and global levels. Few aspects of life are unaffected by politics; therefore, political science is an effective means for a broad preparation for life.

Typical positions held by political science graduates include political lobbyist, legislative aide, public sector administrator, campaign manager/ consultant, and secondary teacher or college professor.

Access to a wide variety of statistical databases have allowed students in public opinion and voting classes gain valuable experience as they analyze some of this data in computer labs. We offer the advantage of small classes and personal attention where one-on-one discussions are vital to learning.
