Political science: this field of study will equip you to understand and possibly influence policymaking in many different forms.
Political science - the scientific study of government and politics - is concerned with the ways in which government power is acquired and exercised within and between nations.
At Northern, we teach you to understand different aspects of government, with special emphasis on American government, political philosophy, and international relations.
The political science program also offers connections to internships with national, state and local governments. |
