Studying political science prepares you to play a more effective role as a citizen of a democracy and of the world. It helps you better understand other people and their ideas. Political science majors use New York City as a political classroom. Some of our courses like Power in the City and Wall Street include weekly field trips to view significant buildings and public works in the city. Beyond New York City, you can earn college credits while interning in Washington, D.C. or Albany, NY with one of our partnership programs. Our students have also traveled internationally with programs to the Czech Republic, London and the Galapagos Islands. A great way to get your feet wet is on a political science-sponsored field trip to Washington, D.C., Albany or Philadelphia. On these trips, you’ll meet elected officials and go on walking tours of historical and political sites. The Political Science Department also runs a Model United Nations program. Model UN is available as a class in the spring or as an extracurricular activity in the fall. As part of the program, our students simulate the work of the UN at international conferences in New York City and Washington, D.C.
