About

As a Political Science major at Central Michigan University, you'll explore both domestic politics, which examines the American political system, as well as international politics, which looks at how different countries can work together to address global issues.

Overview

You'll explore who is excluded from these processes and how they can be made more inclusive, as well as what constitutes a just society, what equality is and what it means to be free.

What constitutes a just society? What does it mean to be free? Who is excluded from the political discourse, and how can we be more inclusive?

These are some of the questions at the heart of our political science major. In this deeply relevant program, you’ll learn about the American political system. You'll examine how countries can work together to address global issues. You'll explore the relationships among individuals, governments and the public good.

In the classroom, you’ll examine interest groups, voting behavior, political philosophies and the administration of justice. You can even tailor your studies with a certificate in citizen engagement, political advocacy and elections, or lawmaking and legal processes.
