Political Science & Philosophy, BA - Dual Major

The Philosophy Department and Political Science Department offer a double major for students interested in pursuing legal careers through Law Schools or other professional programs.

The Political Science BA has a general degree track, and three tracks representing important sub-fields of political science: American Politics/Public Law, Global Politics, and Public Administration. All four tracks are designed to prepare students for professional careers in the public or private sector, or graduate or professional study. Federal, state and local governments are important employers of political science graduates. In the private sector, including nonprofits, the increasing interaction with government creates a growing demand for graduates with an understanding of political systems, domestically and internationally. Political Science, Law, and Public Administration are common graduate fields of study for our graduates.

For information about the Political Science & Philosophy, BA dual major program requirements, see the program requirements for both the Political Science, BA and the Philosophy, BA.

The Philosophy and Political Science double major reduces the total number of credit hours taken from both departments from 66 to 60 and allows the Philosophy Senior Thesis requirement to be optional.
