Course overview
The opportunities for a successful career in politics extend far beyond holding a government position. If you’re interested in working for organizations that advocate for causes, becoming a journalist or working for an international business, political science may be the right career path for you. This area of study prepares you to be an informed and active citizen as you learn about national and international government and the roles they play in processes and policies. You’ll expand your knowledge through classroom work, research, simulations and real-world experiences.
Carroll University’s Political Science major allows you to choose courses that directly relate to your preferred field of study. The program offers classes in public policy and constitutional law, the American presidency, US foreign policy and politics of developing nations. Students will apply what they learn as they discuss relevant political topics with their peers. You’ll sharpen your analytical and critical thinking skills, and practice sharing opinions clearly and effectively through oral and written communication—all with an awareness of cultures and perspectives that may be different than your own.
