In the political science major, you can choose from five options: general, legal studies, national security, social and political justice, and applied public policy studies (APPS).

We also offer online and residential master's programs, which provide you with a firm foundation in the discipline and research methods. We offer graduate certificates in environmental politics and policy, Europe and transatlantic relations, foundations of political analysis, information, policy, and society, and security studies. Graduates go on to pursue advanced degrees or careers in government, business, law, education, non-profit organizations, or private sector research.
