Political science is an ideal liberal arts major that can help Christian students to equip themselves as readers, writers, and thinkers who want to make a tangible impact on the everyday lives of their fellow citizens. If you?re interested in American politics, international relations, public policy, or big questions about the purpose of government, political science may be a good field for you.

As liberal arts graduates, our students are equipped to pursue careers in virtually any field to which they feel called. Our graduates routinely go on to the ministry, mission field, and other fields of Christian service. After leaving Bethel, many of our students pursue graduate or professional education, particularly the study of law. Our majors have been admitted to all of the Minnesota law schools as well as nationally top-ranked schools, including Harvard, George Washington, the University of Virginia, Vanderbilt, and many more.

Through study of political science, students develop a set of analytical capabilities, administrative competence, and communication skills that are valued in many careers. Our students read difficult material, discuss complex ideas, and complete writing assignments that equip them with the abilities that employers expect from well-educated people.?
