Political Science
Political science is the systematic study of government, politics and public policy.
Specialized Education
Degrees
Political science is one of a number of liberal arts majors that prepare students for a broad range of career opportunities. Political science majors choose one of four tracks or concentrations: general political science, pre-law, public administration or secondary teaching. Each concentration provides a combination of knowledge and skills especially appropriate for those with particular career goals. However, choosing one concentration over the others does not limit you to a particular career path — each of the tracks provides a solid grounding in political science and a broad liberal arts background.
General education requirements and sufficient elective credits must be completed so that at least 124 semester credits have been earned.
LSSU has a great reputation for placing Political Science students in graduate and professional schools, such as:
Georgetown University
Michigan State University
University of Illinois

"The opportunity at LSSU to do research is amazing. This past summer I motored through coves and islands with Prof. Garvon surveying water birds for the affects of pollution. I spent the other part of my summer on the shore of Lake Superior monitoring nests of the endangered Piping Plover."
