Why Study Political Science?

Career Possibilities

Like students who graduate with other liberal arts majors, graduates with a BA in political science are prepared for many different career options. While many political science majors use their degree to prepare for law school and eventual legal careers, other students establish careers in:

  • state, local and federal government
  • party politics
  • secondary education
  • public relations
  • journalism

Majors also pursue graduate degrees in political science, becoming professors and researchers in colleges and universities.
