UTSA's Political Science degree encompasses a broad range of subjects like American politics, international relations, political philosophy and law. You can also choose an optional concentration in Social Studies. Concentrations are declared after you've been admitted and have met with your academic advisor. In this program, you'll explore how individuals exercise power in group settings and the institutions, rules and processes that are put in place to promote civilian cooperation. You'll learn about democracy and other forms of government, styles of leadership, the ideas of Plato, Machiavelli, Hobbes and Locke, the influence of non-governmental organizations in world politics, the formation of public opinion, Constitutional law, and the developing role of social media in politics. The Honors Program of the Department of Political Science and Geography is an opportunity for advanced study for students who have demonstrated commendable academic performance. The prerequisites for a student's participation in the Honors Program are a minimum grade point average of 3.0 at UTSA, a 3.5 grade point average in the major, and recommendation by a member of the Political Science and Geography faculty. Students who are approved will enroll in the appropriate honors thesis courses during their final semester at UTSA.
