A Politics degree equips graduates with critical analysis skills and global awareness, preparing them to examine post-college life through a discerning lens. Our dual majors emphasize developing analytical and evaluative abilities, guiding students in formulating original perspectives on political systems. Our curriculum and professors intentionally challenge students, fostering healthy skepticism toward conventional beliefs. More crucially, we aim to cultivate students' capacity to articulate well-supported viewpoints using compelling data and language that resonates with colleagues, professionals, and community members. Politics Department alumni pursue diverse career trajectories. The majority enter the workforce immediately after graduation, with many securing positions in government, civil service, media, or related sectors. A growing number continue their education through advanced degrees in academia, public policy, legal studies, or other professional programs nationwide.

Typically, the most important factor in the admission evaluation process is demonstrated academic achievement in a challenging secondary school program.
The admission committee looks for applicants who have completed the most rigorous academic courses available in their secondary schools and recommends that prospective students should exceed minimum high school graduation requirements. We require an official transcript. The secondary program should include no fewer than 16 academic courses and must include the following courses:
English 4 units
Mathematics 4 units
Foreign Language 2 units
Science (from among biology, chemistry, and physics) 2 units (*)

A TOEFL or IELTS score should not be more than two years old. Depending on the school, most admitted graduate students attain a minimum total score of 90 on the internet-based (iBT) TOEFL (including sectional minimums of 22 in speaking, 22 in writing, 23 in reading and 23 in listening). The minimum paper-based TOEFL score requirement is usually 600, and the minimum IELTS score requirement is 7.0.
