Overview

Historical and Political Studies is offered by Babson College. The historical and political studies concentration focuses on the historical and political processes and patterns that structure the relationship between individuals and communities.

Key Facts

Expanding from traditional political science programs, students examine how those communities attempt to reconcile the claims of justice, power, liberty, and authority both historically and in contemporary public life. Grounded in history and political science, it’s a broadly based concentration that shares the traditional aims of a liberal arts and sciences education, and elements of international relations, all while attempting to come to grips with the origins and contemporary manifestations of major political and issues. Students graduate with a keen ability to communicate ideas and concepts to a variety of audiences. They also participate hands on with research, presentations, and teamwork. They go on to work at foundations and in the nonprofit sphere, as educators, in marketing and retail, in politics, and as business leaders, among other pursuits. Whether your interests lie more in entreprenurial politics, or you’re keen to study political science, you can take courses in law, economics, sociology, and philosophy alongside your business and other core requirements. If a polical science degree interests you, the historical and political studies concentration covers the basics and goes beyond.
