FSU’s location, so close to Washington, D.C., and Annapolis, Md, places it near the heart of our nation’s government, which provides you with extraordinary opportunities for internships and field experiences. Through your political science major you will develop excellent writing, analysis and research skills that will be an asset to you in graduate school, your career and throughout life.

  • Concentrate your political science studies in American politics, comparative politics, international relations, political theory or public policy.
  • Earn a certificate in public administration, if you wish.
  • Join other FSU political science graduates in pursuing such careers as working for U.S. senators and representatives, the CIA, Department of Justice or state governors – or use the program as a springboard to graduate school.
  • Political Science is also available as a minor.
