Political Science at CMU

As a political science student at Central Michigan University, you will learn about the operation of government and the relationship of people to the political system.

You will study political processes, including how governments are structured, how they make decisions, and how they manage societal conflicts. You also will learn to analyze information to guide research or policy decisions.

Earning a degree in political science does not necessarily mean that you want to be a politician. In fact, your political science background can lead to a variety of employment opportunities in governmental administration, political office, education, law, and business or international relations.
