Political Science - Carnegie Mellon University

Political Science from Carnegie Mellon University is a Campus Bachelor Public Administration degree that prepares you for a Human Services career. The BS in Political Science prepares the student for a wide variety of careers. Political Science provides a valuable background for those pursuing careers in law and journalism, as well as for those seeking professional masters degrees in business, public policy, and public administration. The major is also appropriate for a wide variety of careers in government, trade associations, lobbying groups, international organizations, journalism, business, and teaching. Prior to entering the Political Science major, students complete many of the H&SS General Education requirement courses. The Political Science major builds on these courses through four required courses that reflect the interdisciplinary nature of the Department of Social and Decision Sciences and its strengths in the areas of decision making, information, and organizations: 88-104, Decision Processes in American Political Institutions; Policy Analysis I, II, and III (88-220, 221, 222); 88-250, Regression Methods in the Social Sciences; and 88-251, Empirical Research Methods. Together these requirements provide an outstanding background in social science methods and theory, as well as solid grounding in the study of politics. Note that one of these courses, 88-104, Decision Processes in American Political Institutions, is an option in one of the H&SS General Education distributional categories ("Social, Political and Economic Institutions"), and should therefore be taken as part of the General Education Program by H&SS students interested in the Political Science major.
