Overview

As they advance through the Political Science degree at High Point University, majors choose from an intriguing mix of courses on the American political system, international politics and the research methods that social scientists use to explain and change the world around them.

During their final year, all majors complete a capstone experience that involves either a semester-long political internship or substantial research project, which they publicly present at a symposium. Our curriculum provides flexibility for students to complete a second major, foreign study or internship with political campaigns, interest groups or elected officials.
