Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Political Communication] From University of Northern Iowa

Today political scientists are interested in many of the same normative questions that engaged ancient scholars, such as how should governments be structured and how should power be distributed. In addition, modern political scientists are concerned with accurately measuring and explaining a wide variety of political phenomenon, such as voting behavior and international conflict.

At present, we have 14 faculty members who teach a wide variety of courses in American politics, public administration, comparative politics, international relations and political theory. Our classes are generally small, and students have easy access to faculty outside of the classroom. Since all professors teach freshmen and sophomores as well as upper division courses, students get to know their teachers early in their college careers.

The graduates are prepared for careers in civil and foreign service, public and private sector management and administration, political organizations and consulting, and education. And, every year many of our graduates choose to continue their education in doctoral programs and law schools.
