Course Information & Schedules :: Political Science Major

The Bachelor of Arts Degree with a Major in Political Science

Political science examines government, public policy, and the political behavior of individuals and groups. Political science uses both humanistic and scientific perspectives to examine the United States, foreign countries, regions of the world, and international relations.

Typically, political science students are preparing for careers in business, law, government, journalism, international organizations, finance, political campaigns, interest groups and associations, or teaching. Political science study is valuable background for work in community organizations, politics, social movements, and elected or appointed public service.

Ranked among the top 20 programs of its kind by U.S. News and World Report and the National Research Council, the UA political science department – part of the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences – includes six study areas: Political Behavior, American Political Institutions, Law and Public Policy, Political Theory, Comparative Politics, and International Relations.
