Welcome
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. |
