Political Science

UMBC's Political Science major is a liberal arts program that helps students think more critically and coherently about political matters. The major's required components cover both longstanding philosophical questions and contemporary social scientific knowledge about political life. UMBC's Political Science major offers many options for students interested in the study of political science as well as for students that are interested in rewarding jobs in government, public service, law, and other careers.
