This concentration offers you an understanding of the principles, concepts, norms, and assumptions that inform public policy. You'll consider the meaning of justice and the nature and source of legitimate authority. This is a valuable foundation for your advanced studies and a career in public service, private institutions, or political organizations. When you major in Political Science, your first classes will include Introduction to American Politics, Evolution of the Global System, and Research Methods. Once you've got a solid understanding of domestic politics and international politics, along with essential analytical skills, you'll be on your way to political greatness.
