BA in Political Science in San Diego United States | San Diego State University

Our program provides courses examining modern and historical political issues, both globally and locally. Students in our program gain experience through internships, collaborative research with faculty, and publishing opportunities in San Diego, nationwide, and abroad. Political Science focuses on current public matters in the U.S. and internationally, addressing key societal challenges like growing inequality, human rights, and democratic transitions. Instead of concentrating on daily political news cycles, we analyze the fundamental social, economic, and political forces shaping change, while critically examining the ideologies influencing political debates. Majors gain deep knowledge of political systems and theories while developing writing, analytical, and problem-solving skills applicable to diverse challenges beyond politics.
