Program Overview

In the political science BS, your political science undergraduate courses begin with core courses designed to introduce you to the general themes of political science. You will be required to take political science electives in American politics/Constitutional studies and international relations/comparative politics.

In addition, you’ll choose a track in:

  • Digital politics: The influence, impacts, and implementation of technology in politics.
  • Government, economics, and public policy: Applied politics, humanitarianism, economics, and the study of power in our society as studied through the lens of behavioral science and institutional interactions.
  • International and global security: The study of world power interaction and the role played by the state in both traditional and non-traditional ways, including human, cyber, and global security.
  • Politics, ecology, and the life sciences: An in-depth study on the political impact of modern biology, biotechnology, and environmental changes, and their influence on how we understand ourselves as human beings and citizens.

The political science major culminates in a capstone course, which ties together the themes of the major through a seminar and a significant writing project.
