As part of a classic yet contemporary liberal arts education, your major, minor, or certificate program in political science will offer you the necessary skills and knowledge to participate effectively as citizens in a democratic political system and to flourish in the rapidly developing globalization of the world's politcal institutions, cultures and economies.
Our graduates have gone on to some of the country's most prestigious graduate schools and programs, such as Harvard and Duke Law schools, and have been admitted to doctoral programs at Columbia, UCLA, Duke, Oxford, the University of Chicago, the University of Minnesota, and UCSD, to name a few. Graduating seniors find a range of employment opportunities in the fields of law, politics, education, journalism, communications, and public service. For example, some of our graduating seniors have been hired to work at the Federal Reserve, the Arizona Governer's office, and local and national newspapers. Other department alumni have reached high-level positions at major corporations such as Nike and Goodyear. Others have attained high rank in state government and the judicial system. Of the nine College of Liberal Arts and Sciences alumni who have been inducted into the College's Hall of Fame, three are graduates of the Political Science Department. Many of our majors go on to law school, and a sizeable number go on to get MBAs.
