Bachelor of Science - Political Science - International Politics

Program Description

Are you enamored with current events and the tracking the state of world affairs? Do you stay up all night to watch as poll numbers are reported from across the United States? Does the idea of working with and for the public excite you? If you answered “yes” to any of the previous questions, TROY’s bachelor’s degree in political science could be your ticket to an amazing future in politics!

TROY’s political science program is split in to two concentrations—American politics and public administration and international politics—that will provide you with critical thinking skills necessary to thrive in the political, commercial, educational and government worlds. This expertise has given some graduates opportunities to move into government work in Washington, D.C., go into state or local government and work for political campaigns. This program also provides a great foundation for those going on to law school or into other doctoral programs while others focus on developing their writing and research skills to work as journalists or in other enterprises.

Students graduating with a political science degree are qualified to work in the following areas:

• foreign service
• government work
• international security
• journalism
