Overview

The Political Science course from the Caldwell University department offers small class sizes with experienced faculty who are committed to your success. We offer a student centered experience which is challenging yet approachable. The unique Dominican heritage is clearly evident in our courses as we seek the “truth” through fact finding, dialogue and engagement.

Special opportunities for Political Science majors include a variety of internship and cooperative education programmes available with local government administrators, the New Jersey Historical Society, and the Grover Cleveland Birthplace. A Washington Semester programme is available through American University, and study abroad options are possible. Independent study projects in all areas of history and political science are open to majors. Students may aspire to membership in Pi Sigma Alpha, the national political science honor society.

In the programme, students acquire skills that are easily applicable to many fields in the modern workplace – in both the public and private sectors. Political Science graduates are well suited to pursue careers in teaching, policy analysis, public relations, law, fundraising, grant writing, diplomacy, political consulting, campaign managing, and much more!
