The Department of Political Science offers a comprehensive curriculum with courses that cover each of the sub-fields of the discipline: American Government and Politics, Public Policy and Public Administration, Comparative Politics, International Relations, and Empirical Political Methods. In addition, the department offers several tracks that enable students to focus on a particular area of politics with advanced courses relevant to their particular intellectual and career interests. Our offerings are especially rich in three areas: American Politics and Policy, Pre-Law and Legal Studies, and International Relations, Comparative Politics, and National Security. Integrated into these concentrations are learning opportunities outside the classroom and beyond the WVU campus. These include political simulations, Model United Nations, internships in state and national government, a nationally ranked Debate Team, and several study abroad programs tailored to political science interests.<br><br>Studying political science will help you understand why courts make the decisions they do, why legislatures pass the laws they do and why countries make the choices they make in the international arena. Students earning a BA in Political Science choose an area of emphasis that allows them to focus on the course work that best suits their interests and professional goals. Whether selecting a career in public service, criminal justice, government, business or international affairs, students graduate with an impressive and adaptable skillset.
