POLITICAL SCIENCE
TTP: A.A./A.S.

Every day, the government is either doing something for you, or to you (and usually it's both). Students pursuing a Political Science degree will earn just how governments work, be they at the local, state, national or work governments level.

Individuals majoring in political science have a variety of careers available such as lawyers, politicians and police officers.
