Political Science

Political science is the study of systems of government; the analysis of political activity and behavior. Political science focuses on the theory and practice of government and politics at the local, state, national, and international levels.

Our political science program offers political science for transfer (AA-T) degrees, and social and behavioral sciences associate's degrees and certificates.
