About Political Science
Political Science programs are about power, conflict, political challenges and social change in today’s democratic and globally connected environment. Students graduating with a degree in Political Science obtain careers in law, politics, public policy, foreign aid, sustainable global development and poverty reduction, international justice, communications, and education. The career possibilities are endless with a degree in Political Science because our program allows students to customize their degree program around hands-on concentration options, multi-disciplinary opportunities, and rigorous curricula — all within Oregon’s largest and politically active city.
