The Political Science Bachelors Degree at Suffolk University is designed for students eager to understand and influence the forces that shape our world, from domestic policy debates to global political dynamics. You will gain a critical understanding of how institutions, ideas, and human behaviour intersect to drive political outcomes, policy decisions, and societal change. This program provides a robust foundation in American politics, comparative politics, and essential research methodologies, preparing you to analyse complex political landscapes and contribute meaningfully to public discourse.
Studied full-time on campus over three years, this Bachelors Degree immerses you in core requirements including research methodology and data analysis, alongside a chosen concentration in American Politics, Public Policy and Law, or Political Theory. You will develop practical skills in analysing real-world data and formulating policy arguments, culminating in a senior seminar project. You will graduate with the analytical, research, and communication skills necessary for diverse careers in government, non-profits, law, journalism, and international affairs.
