Bachelor of Arts in Political Science Shorelight Group - Lynn University, USA

As a political science major at Lynn University, you'll advance your understanding of political processes, structures and functions at the local, regional, national and global levels. Coursework contains both traditional areas of political science and new emerging ideas. As a student in the political science degree program, you'll study political history and international affairs. You'll learn this on a campus where students represent more than 90 countries, so political science can more easily be understood as a function of the cultural, political and social diversity of the world. And you'll study with faculty members who are experts in their fields. See faculty research.  

That's not all. You’ll explore areas such as government and leadership, political theories and ideologies, global human rights, public economy and public policy. Plus, with our longstanding collaboration with the Washington Internship Institute in Washington, D.C., you may be eligible for a full-semester internship and integrated coursework in the U.S. capital.

Depending on your goals, you can choose between the American government and politics track or the international relations and politics track.
