Get ready to lead in the 21st century.
As our society faces increasingly complex legal and social concerns such as aging populations, environmental and health-care dilemmas, and ineffective educational systems, we turn to those who can handle our global village's rapid changes.
Focus on political institutions and theory, public administration, comparative government and international relations, and gain a broad-based understanding of public policy and political processes. Learn to think critically and communicate effectively when confronting and solving important policy issues, positioning you for success in any field.

When you graduate, you'll be prepared to launch a career such as:
- campaign specialist
- international political analyst
- lobbyist
- local, state or federal government administrator or official
- nonprofit manager
- public policy analyst
- survey researcher.
