Political Science involves the methodical examination of political systems across various settings, including government bodies, global platforms, and community organizations. At Oregon State, students pursuing this major can opt for the general track or specialize in one of three concentrations: law and governance, global relations, or sustainability and energy policy. The curriculum equips all political science students with critical thinking skills, effective communication abilities, and persuasive speaking techniques. They explore influential political theories, analyze the underlying principles of current events, and participate in dynamic debates with peers and faculty representing diverse perspectives.
