Political Science in B.A
Government impacts almost everything around us, from the condition of the roads we travel to the signal for our smartphones. Studying political science will give you a deeper understanding of how government operates, and the skills to influence it for the better. From public policy to justice, local issues to international relations, political science is the key to understanding what Aristotle called the affairs of the people.
The Political Science degree is offered through the Center for International Studies, the longest-running center of its kind in Houston. The Center empowers you with knowledge and prepares you for a dynamic spectrum of global careers, from advocacy to commerce, diplomacy and public service.
