Nova Southeastern University's Bachelor of Arts in Political Science program explores both the U.S. political landscape (examining its influencing factors and national impacts) and global political structures (covering international relations, worldwide organizations, and cross-border partnerships). Delve further through coursework in political economy, theoretical frameworks, research methodologies, and regional politics focusing on Latin America and the Middle East.
Hone your critical thinking abilities by participating in Model United Nations competitions with our acclaimed Nova International Relations Association (NIRA) team. Develop legal arguments and present cases in simulated court proceedings through our Mock Trial program. Connect with guest speakers including writers, policymakers, and advocates while benefiting from South Florida's distinctive international perspective and political energy.
While politics appears as a natural career path, your expertise can extend to fields like legal practice, media, nonprofit work, or teaching. Today's interconnected world demands business executives and public officials with political acumen. A political science degree offers geographic flexibility for employment. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 6% growth in political science positions by 2029. Graduates may also pursue advanced degrees in global studies, business administration, or legal studies.
