As a political science major at Fordham, you’ll study how societies make collective decisions through politics and government. From Aristotle to Spinoza, the U.S. to China, you’ll explore both political theory and practice from a diversity of perspectives. We prepare you to think independently, tolerate a diversity of viewpoints, engage with current political affairs (both at home and abroad), and critically analyze the relationship between personal values and public life. You’ll also hone your skills in writing, communication, and analytical thought. These are all core components of a Jesuit liberal arts education at Fordham. But you’ll learn more than political science here. You’ll also study philosophy, literature, theology, art, history, mathematics, languages, sciences, and the performing arts through Fordham’s common core curriculum, the centerpiece of our liberal arts education. A degree in political science prepares you for several career options. Many choose to go on to law school, a traditional career path for political science majors. Others find careers in: Government agencies Bews organizations Private sector Political Theory Courses Modern Political Thought Liberalism and Its Critics Politics, Reason and Revelation Theories of Law and Human Rights
