POLITICAL SCIENCE PRE-MAJOR

Political scientists study the nature of power and the role of government, both in our own nation and in the ever-shrinking global arena. Political science majors can work in business and industry as labor relations managers, public-relations specialists and lobbyists, or in government as agency directors, urban planners and the like. Many use their talents as writers, editors or journalists, or they may serve as directors of civic or charitable organizations. Many political scientists go into law, social work and other related fields.
