Bachelor of Arts - Political Science

The study of political science includes the realities of politics and the exploration of how political systems work. PLU political science students take classes to help them gain understanding in the areas of American government institutions, legislative processes, foreign policy, international relations, public law and political theory. Professors – passionate teachers and experts in their fields – help organize and sponsor opportunities to put students' skills and ideas to work, and encourage them to become involved in politics through internships, volunteering to help political groups and election campaigns, or membership in political groups.
