Students interested in one day running for public office usually consider majoring in political science. However, a major in political science can also assist students who are considering careers with the nonprofit sector and the private sector both within and outside of the United States.

What is a political science major? Political Science involves the study of governments and how they operate. Students considering majoring in this field can expect to learn about the origins of government, how different governments are structured, how politicians interact with government and non-government officials, how outside actors can affect the political process, and how different global conditions and circumstances can affect the decisions governments make.
