The major in political science prepares students for teaching, graduate school in political science, public policy, public administration or law school. We strongly encourage our majors to participate in the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities? programs, particularly the American studies program so they can gain practical experience in politics and interact with Christian students from throughout the United States in formulating their world view.
