I'd like to tell you just a little about the programs in our department and some of the opportunities available to our students.
Minors are also available in both fields.
Both majors are firmly grounded in the tradition of the liberal arts. Of the two, the History major is somewhat more flexible in combining with other programs such as education certification. On the other hand, the Political Science major offers the opportunity to tailor your studies into one of several areas, including political institutions, international relations, and public policy. The department also participates in interdisciplinary majors in International Relations and Political Communication which have more specific goals. Finally, a number of our majors plan for careers in law, for which both History and Political Science provide excellent preparation.
