专业介绍

The Bachelor of Arts in Political Science in the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (CHASS) at the University of the Incarnate Word (UIW) prepares students for impactful futures in public policy, public administration, law, non-profit organizations, public sector organizations, international affairs or graduate education. Students find employment in government and non-government public sector organizations, including non-profit organizations or businesses relating to international affairs.

Political scientists study the origin, development and operations of political systems. With a degree in political science, students will be well-prepared to understand the forces that guide political processes. They will learn strong critical thinking and communication skills, which are valuable in many different fields. Employers across sectors value college-educated individuals who can write and speak well, solve problems, learn new information quickly, and work well with others on a team.

The Comparative Politics/International Relations track integrates courses from both the fields of International Relations and Comparative Politics. Students examine global political structures and climates of European and Asian countries, as well as politics in developing regions. Political Science majors choosing this track round out their 18-hour track requirements with study in human rights, U.S. foreign policy, globalization, and terrorism and conflict.

Graduates of UIW’s Political Science program are at work throughout the United States and abroad. They include teachers and educators, administrators, public safety officers, attorneys, law enforcement officers, and non-profit leaders. Others have pursued law school or continued their studies at the master’s or doctoral level. Others still have worked at institutions such as the United Nations or the Democracy Collaborative, non-government organizations (NGOs) and many more. The professional forecast for political science majors looks bright. In the United States today, there is an increased demand for public policy analysis in both government and non-government organizations, which will support employment growth. In fact, between 2019 and 2029, employment of political scientists is projected to increase 6%, faster than the average for all occupations.
