Overview

Political Science at the Saint Xavier University studies how social power is used to distribute social goods and how a society might want to distribute those goods. Who gets educated? Who gets healed? Who gets to decide these issues? These are political questions that affect you now and in the future.

Key facts:

Studying political science at Saint Xavier will help you decide how you answer those questions and how the behaviors of society affect how they answered in reality. Taking what you learn in the classroom into an internship, student association or simulation, you can see how you want to work to change society, which gives you the insight into what you think needs to be done and the practical tools to help you achieve it.
