About the B.A. in Political Science Degree
Why Study Political Science at Cedarville?
Cedarville’s B.A. in political science is distinctly Christian, intentionally rigorous, and broadly focused. The major will prepare you for a career in domestic and international affairs, campaign management, interest groups, journalism, and a host of other options. You will also be ready for advanced study in law, American politics, international relations, or political philosophy.
Political science is more than a discussion of attention-grabbing headlines; it is the study of human behavior, justice, civic responsibility, and myriad topics, all grounded in biblical truth. If you love politics and want to explore God’s purpose for government and develop a coherent idea of Christian citizenship, come study with us.
