Students study business and political science for a variety of reasons. Some are interested in working for government agencies in administrative positions, while others focus on the intersection of politics and economics and look forward to careers in economic policy or management. Still others seek careers at large businesses that have extensive interaction with government agencies. The business and political science degree is also useful for students interested in pursuing professional degrees at the master’s level, and for students who envision moving between government, business, and nonprofits throughout their careers.
Business and political science majors have gone on to pursue many different vocations, including:
- Business
