Political Science - POLS

Political Science is the study of the use of public power and authority. Politics and government affect life and impinge on many fields. Introductory courses are offered for those interested in learning about the American Government and different political systems. In-depth courses are offered for Political Science majors. The major is especially desirable for students who might work for the government, be commissioned as military officers, or intend to become lawyers. A minor in Political Science is useful in economics, journalism, and language, or for those who hope to become executives in law enforcement or in many types of businesses.
