Ringkasan program

This program is the study of governments, the processes by which governments make policies and the effects of those policies on society. Political scientists analyze the nature and design of government institutions, and examine the political attitudes and behavior of individual citizens using the techniques of survey and experimental research. They carry out these studies with research on the United States government at the national and sub-national level, on governments and political behaviors in countries around the world, and on interactions between nations. Political science also continues to ask such fundamental questions as how governments ought to be organized and what government policies best serve citizens interests. The Bachelor of Arts degree emphasizes a broad foundation in the liberal arts, including advanced work in a foreign language. An undergraduate degree in political science can prepare students for a wide array of careers in which top candidates are expected to have broad knowledge of their society, its government, how policy is made, or how nations or different peoples interact. A degree in political science can give students the opportunity to develop analytical skill, and both written and spoken communication skills, and it can be productively combined with internships, work, or study abroad to create an impressive resume by the time a student graduates from Texas A and M. This combination of skills, anchored by a political science degree, can prepare students for diverse careers, including business, law, academia, government service, political campaigns, non-profit and interest group work.
