Introduction

Political science is the study of people’s behavior as it relates to power and public organizations. The discipline is normally divided into six subfields: political philosophy, American politics, public administration, public law, comparative government and international politics.

A major in political science prepares students for law school, government employment at the local, state and national levels, foreign service, teaching, business, journalism, or leadership in civic and political activities.
