By studying political science, the student learns to seek out answers to perennial questions of politics and learn more about how government works in his own country and around the world. He learns to analyze and interpret the significance of political events and governmental processes in order to understand, evaluate, and even shape them.

Political science graduates comprehend their world in ways appropriate to their individual inclinations, as intelligent and responsible citizens; journalists and attorneys; active participants in business, community or electoral politics; and as candidates for office, public officials or academic political scientists.
