The Political Science Department is
located in Ruby Jones Hall, a beautifully restored building on
University Avenue. We share this unique structure with the
Department of Criminal Justice, the Department of Geography and
Planning, and the Office of the Dean of the College of Business and
Public Affairs.
Like those Departments, we are a part of the College of Business
and Public Affairs. We offer a variety of programs--some more
specific than others. Our B.A. with a concentration in Applied
Public Policy, for example, although it is a liberal arts degree,
is designed for students who are fairly certain they wish to seek
a career analyzing public policy, working in government, or bringing
their practical computer and survey skills to the business world.
Our International Relations and General concentrations are more
traditional liberal arts programs.
Political Science has historically been one of the most popular
liberal arts majors because it is useful in such a variety of
postgraduate careers. It is the single major most frequently
selected by pre-law students, but it is also popular with students
intending careers in journalism, international business, banking,
with public interest groups and, of course, politics and government.
