Where Can a B.S. in PS Take You?
The social sciences offer a unique blend of the liberal arts (how to think) and applied tools of analysis (how to do). A PS degree can prepare you for a range of jobs in politics, government service, think tanks, journalism, the non-profit world, and the private sector.
PS is an ideal second major (or minor) for those studying engineering or one of the physical sciences. Our faculty members work closely with our students to make sure that they take the courses and internships best suited to their specific career goals.
We can also help you to get into a top-notch graduate program in Political Science or Sociology, a good law school, or an NASPAA-accredited MPA or MPP program.
