Political science majors choose one of?three tracks or concentrations: general political science, pre-law or?public administration. Each concentration provides a combination of knowledge and skills especially appropriate for those with particular career goals. However, choosing one concentration over the others does not limit you to a particular career path ? each of the tracks provides a solid grounding in political science and a broad liberal arts background.

General education requirements and sufficient elective credits must be completed so that at least 124 semester credits have been earned.

Other Qualifications ? Graduate degrees are required for some positions; thus, a law degree is required for work as an attorney and a Ph.D. is required for appointment to permanent teaching and research positions in colleges and universities.

Available degrees:

  • Bachelor of Arts/Science Political Science-General
  • Bachelor of Arts/Science Political Science-Pre-Law?
  • Bachelor of Science Political Science-Public Administration
