Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Political Science] From University of Houston

All political science majors take introductory courses on United States’ politics, comparative politics, political theory, and international relations. Majors are then given the flexibility to choose from a variety of advanced courses, allowing students to customize a path of study that either continues to span several of these fields or provides specialization in one of these areas. The political science major helps develop informed and active citizens, but it is also good for future employment. It has proven useful for those who plan careers in secondary and higher education, the legal profession, government, urban planning, journalism, or any other field that requires critical thinking and analysis. Political science continues to provide an excellent background for those who wish to pursue advanced studies in business, law, or public administration.

With faculty who excel both as teachers and researchers, the Department of Political Science has a strong tradition of excellence in undergraduate and graduate education.
