Each semester, roughly forty to fifty Political Science courses are offered. While some are smaller classes or seminars primarily geared towards Political Science majors, many do not require prior background and often provide broad overviews that are appropriate for majors and non-majors alike. These courses, typically at the 200-level or below, provide excellent opportunities to explore the various fields and subfields that constitute Political Science.

A degree in political science offers an immense number of career options in the public and private sectors, both in the United States and abroad. Typical careers include government, law, business, international and civic organizations, journalism, and education.
