You will have the opportunity to edit and publish your and your colleagues' research in the department's Journal of Politics and International Relations. In addition to working for major corporations, Ursinus politics graduates have pursued careers at the State Department, the US Senate and the Department of Defense as well as entering graduate programs at top universities.
Ursinus students can study politics where political decisions are being made.
To prepare our graduates for service in both the public and private sectors and for graduate work in politics, law and public service, Ursinus provides all politics majors with a sound theoretical base and practical experience in the political arena. Courses in American government, political theory, comparative politics and international politics form the foundation. In addition to working for major corporations, our graduates also have pursued careers with the State Department, the U.S. Senate, the Department of Defense and other public institutions. Students may choose to study for up to a year in many countries, from Mexico to Japan. All students take courses in international politics, but Ursinus offers a special track for majors that can include courses in war and revolution, in U.S. foreign policy and in such specialty areas as Japanese and Chinese politics.
