政治科学

The ever-changing world of politics has a major impact on all facets of our lives. Decisions are made daily that affect the environment we live in, the taxes that we pay and the education that we receive. As we learn to navigate a society where people are passionate about issues that affect them most, understanding the political landscape has never been more important. Our political science program allows you to explore the many dimensions of politics and its direct connection to global issues and ideas.

About the 政治科学 Major

The opportunities for a successful career in politics extend far beyond holding a government position. If you’re interested in working for organizations that advocate for causes, becoming a journalist or working for an international business, political science may be the right career path for you. This area of study prepares you to be an informed and active citizen as you learn about national and international government and the roles they play in processes and policies. You’ll expand your knowledge through classroom work, 研究, simulations and real-world experiences.
