Overview
To promote their career goals, students often combine their political science major with a minor or major in business, international studies, criminal justice, communication, biology, geography, economics or modern language and literatures. Political science provides valuable insights into the functioning of government and politics (locally, nationally and globally) which also serve as excellent preparation for further graduate or professional education.
The Political Science program at Pittsburg State University offers courses in American Politics and Government, Constitutional Law and Judicial Process, Political Philosophy, International Relations, and Comparative Politics.
