What is Political Science?
Political science is the study of the world of governments and the governing process. Political science seeks to understand and react to this world of swirling events and players. To understand means to analyze, put in context, and develop a balanced perspective. To react to that political world means one must be able to think critically, develop a sense of purpose and direction, and possess values and beliefs that enable one to thoughtfully evaluate and prescribe.
Career Opportunities
Law -- Career opportunities in the legal profession are numerous. Although a number of majors can prepare one for a legal career, political science is an especially appropriate background since law is an aspect of governments and the governing process. Government Service/Political --There are many career possibilities in government service, including elective office, positions on the staffs of elected officials, and staff positions with one of the political parties. Government Service/Civil Service -- There are many government careers under the civil service systems of the national, state and local governments. Most political science majors who enter a civil service position do so in an executive or management training position. These positions are often very rewarding due to their broad, policy making roles. Although not required for some of these positions, it is helpful to go on to graduate school to obtain a master's degree in public administration either immediately after graduation or after working for several years. Secondary Education -- A number of our graduates obtain a secondary teaching credential and go on to careers teaching government or civics on the junior or high school level. Professional Political Scientist -- An undergraduate major in political science can serve as the groundwork for the pursuit of graduate studies in political science leading to a Ph.D. This equips one to teach and do research on the college and university level or full-time research positions with government or private agencies. International Organizations -- In recent years the opportunities for qualified persons with an interest in international organizations has grown. These positions are in private overseas voluntary agencies, international businesses, international governmental agencies and other international agencies. Interest Groups and Associations -- Since 1960 interest groups activity has exploded on both state and national levels. One thinks immediately of traditional economic interest groups such as organized labor and business associations. A political science major is a natural for such positions. Journalism -- Covering community and political stories are a major part of a journalist's task. Thus, political science is an excellent background for either print or broadcast journalism. Business -- A large number of graduates (some studies suggest nearly one third) find employment in the business sector with careers in such fields as marketing, personnel, advertising, and public or community relations.
