Description:

Political scientists ask questions such as: What causes conflict in societies? Can government policy impact social inequality? What is liberty?



Political science is the study of conflict and cooperation within societies. In order to make sense of the political world, political scientists investigate concepts such as justice, liberty, representation and democracy. During the course of your studies, you'll gain statistical analysis skills, research capabilities, written and verbal communication skills, and knowledge of the international political community.
