Overview

A Political Science major is excellent preparation for students interested in public administration, law, business, public relations, and journalism. At Southern, political science majors immerse themselves in the study of government, public policy, and political culture. Along the way they sharpen their skills in writing, communication, and complex analysis. Many work side-by-side with legislators and policy-makers as interns at the state legislature in Hartford, in the U.S. Congress in Washington, or at prestigious public policy agencies or worldwide organizations like Amnesty International. The BS program in Political Science is designed to combine traditional instruction in the discipline with a strong emphasis upon the more applied, practical or quantified approaches to the study of politics at all levels: local, national, and international. The Political Science Department has clearly stated program-level outcomes: To demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of the methods and findings of the discipline. To demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of the key statistical tools used in political science. To demonstrate critical thinking and writing skills in the study of political science. To demonstrate an understanding of the workplace experience. The program prepares students for a variety of careers including government service, business and finance, teaching, law, the media, data analysis, and non-profit management. They develop the skills needed for success in the workplace, but also the skills needed to be informed and active citizens.
