Overview
UMass Dartmouth's political science program examines the impact of government upon the life of the individual—and of individual citizens upon government. We use scientific, philosophical, and applied perspectives to examine politics in the U.S. and around the world.
We also give you the opportunity to concentrate in one of three particular areas of political science:
- International Politics
- International Security Studies
- Pre-Law
We want to ensure that you acquire proficiency in writing, communication, advocacy, and comparative analysis: all vital skills in today's workplace, which is why we require students to complete an internship. In the Political Science program of University of Massachusetts Dartmouth you'll be prepared for a career in local, state, and federal government - as well as in administration, business, corporate management, diplomatic service, public law, social work, urban planning, and many other fields. A major in political science can also be the stepping-stone to law school and graduate study in diverse academic and professional disciplines.
