Overview

Key Features

In addition to studying the U.S. political system and its history, majors learn social science methods and apply those methods in an original piece of political research. That research can be presented at regional, state, and national conferences, and on campus each spring during All Scholars Day. With a 10:1 student-to-faculty ratio, professors forge close relationships with students and help them connect what they learn in the classroom with research and experiential learning opportunities. The talented faculty in this department help students hone their critical thinking skills — which is key to understanding national and global political issues as they relate to making ethical decisions.

Political Science program at Marietta College complete internships, study abroad, or participate in the Washington Semester, which is a live/work/study program through American University in Washington, D.C.
