How do governments work? What does it mean to be an informed citizen? How can individuals use their power and agency in political life? Questions like these are more pressing than ever, and they underscore the increasing value of a degree in political science. Whether your interest lies in law, public office, policy-making, campaign organization, academic research or any number of other unique career paths, a foundation in political science can propel you toward a future filled with meaning and tangible impact.
Political science courses at DePauw explore a breadth of essential topics from foreign policy and international conflict to elections and interest groups. These courses establish a foundation of theoretical and policy-oriented insights, leading into more advanced learning opportunities such as an internship with an influential organization or a semester of study and experiential learning in Washington. Along the way, you’ll develop the critical reasoning and communication skills that pave the way for success.
