Overview

Step out of the Albion College classroom and gain experience through an Political Science internship or service-learning activity, then prepare for graduate or law school or an immediate start to your career in a variety of policy-oriented fields.

Why Study Political Science at Albion?

You’ll engage with questions fundamental to the academic study of politics and power relationships; questions that will expose you to multiple perspectives on the most consequential, often controversial, issues of our times: war and peace, democracy and the rule of law, global capital, human rights, the environment and more.

As you develop and refine your critical-thinking skills, you will be able to better interpret your own experience of the world.

What Will You Learn as a Political Science Major or Minor?

Through your course work, you’ll understand the inner workings of governance: the political structures, institutions, processes, cultures and policies within and across nations, and how they shape—and are shaped by—political actors.

From Machiavelli and Hobbes to the Transcendentalists, Marx and 20th-century thinkers, you will evaluate complex theories and texts as part of developing valuable research skills.

And you’ll develop persuasive arguments of your own, defending them with sound evidence.
