Political Science
Political science majors offer programs of study that lead to careers in government on the city, state or federal level, or in the foreign service. It also opens career paths in local, national and international organizations, the legal profession, lobbying, secondary or university teaching and a wide variety of opportunities to continue your education in graduate school or law school.
The curriculum is structured so that the political science student acquires an understanding of political theory, comparative government, international relations, public administration and political institutions and processes.
The major is designed to develop critical thinking and independent analysis through the study of theory and its practical application. The latter is encouraged through the availability of a wide variety of internships in state and local government agencies in Columbus. Internships are also available in Washington, D.C.
