Overview

Career

Political Science from Nebraska Wesleyan University is good preparation for graduate study in areas such as political science, public administration, foreign policy, law, business and more. Political scientists need a master’s degree or Ph.D. in political science, public administration or a related field.

Because the federal government employs more than half of all political scientists, employment growth will be tempered as overall employment in the federal government declines.
