Overview

Eastern Connecticut State University’s Political Science major combines a core of political science courses with an internship or study abroad requirement to provide professional and analytical skills.

Overview

Students gain an understanding of domestic and international political processes through classroom discussion; guest speakers and special events; political debates; and a review of current political issues. The major includes a track for students seeking certification to teach high school social studies. A Political Science minor is also available to other majors.

They learn the comparative structures of governments across the world. They also learn about public policy and its impact on society and the economy.
