BA in Political Science in Montclair United States | Montclair State University

Those pursuing a Political Science degree, whether as a major or minor, will explore the structures, organizations, key figures, governance approaches, and ideologies that influence both U.S. politics and global governments. This program cultivates future leaders in political arenas and policy-making at national and international levels. Additionally, when paired with a pre-law minor, it serves as an ideal foundation for legal studies - historically, most U.S. elected officials have studied political science or related disciplines. The pre-law minor complements majors like Jurisprudence exceptionally well.
Political Science reveals the mechanisms behind collective decision-making and community formation. It provides tools to analyze and tackle societal issues both locally and globally. This field also illuminates how individual actions create ripple effects throughout our interconnected world.
