The mission of the Department of Political Science, at Rice University's School of Social Sciences, is to contribute to the university and discipline through excellence in research, graduate training, and undergraduate teaching. We train graduate and undergraduate students in modern techniques of social science research in three substantive areas of political science-American Politics, Comparative Politics, and International Relations-to prepare them for successful careers in academia, government, business, law, education, non-governmental organizations, and many other professional paths. Upon completing the BA degree with a major in Political Science, students will be able to: Develop a broad understanding of political science and more specific knowledge in one or more subfields (Substantive knowledge). Develop critical thinking skills and the ability to apply political science theories to understand the political world (Critical thinking). Learn how to interpret, conduct, and evaluate political science research, including data collection and data analysis techniques and statistical software (Empirical analysis). Develop and strengthen written, oral and visual communication skills and the ability to present political science research to an audience (Communication). Become informed citizens able to participate effectively and meaningfully in the political process (Citizenship).
