Overview

While pursuing your Political Science degree at University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, you’ll learn from expert professors about topics like justice, security, peace, minority rights and privacy. You'll also have access to a wide variety of statistical databases that allow you to analyze real data in classes centered around public opinion and voting. Class sizes are kept small so that every student can receive individual attention and participate in discussions that are vital to learning.

Political science examines various systems of government within and among nation-states and the principles on which they are based. Through unique projects and discussions, you’ll become familiar with political concepts and issues, their historical background and their relevance to the cultural systems in which they arise.

Enhance this knowledge by joining one of our on-campus student organizations, such as the Pre-Law Club, Mock-Trial Team and Pi Sigma Alpha. Focusing on enriching and resume-building activities, these clubs directly connect you with students who are also interested in political science.

They are also excellent ways to learn from guest speakers, participate in workshops and connect what you've learned in class.

Countless opportunities await you in the political science department: internships, research projects, study abroad experiences and so much more. Whether you’re interested in pursuing law school or graduate school, or entering the workforce right away, you’ll graduate well-prepared and ready to make an impact on the world of political science.
