Political Science
The Political Science major aims to awaken in students an understanding and appreciation of government and politics in the broadest and deepest sense.
Courses are offered in four major areas: American politics, comparative politics, international relations, and political philosophy and theory. Classroom learning is enriched in a number of ways including field trips to the state capitol and Washington, D.C., internships with legislators in the Connecticut General Assembly, Washington and district office internships with national legislators, election campaign and party organization internships, and internships with public administrators.
Students who major or minor in Political Science prepare themselves for careers in law, teaching, elective office, government service, many areas of business and not-for-profit management, international business, journalism, campaign management, and other endeavors.
