Political Science with American Politics Concentration (B.S.)


The Political Science with American Politics Concentration is designed to give students of American Politics a more intensive experience with the diverse aspects of our political system. Students who choose this concentration are required to take two different 6 hour internships which focus on differing aspects of the American political system. Students will work closely with their advisor to determine the appropriateness of these internships.
