The Political Science (B.A.) at Montclair State University is designed for students eager to understand the complex forces that shape communities and drive societal decisions. You will explore the institutions, leaders, policies, and ideas that influence both American and international governments, developing a critical lens through which to analyse political systems and global challenges. This undergraduate degree offers a robust foundation for informed citizenship and for addressing critical issues in public policy and international relations.
You will engage in a comprehensive curriculum, studied full-time on campus over four years, that integrates theoretical knowledge with practical application. Through coursework covering political theory, comparative politics, and international relations, you will develop strong analytical and research skills. You will graduate with the ability to critically assess political phenomena, understand policy development, and pursue diverse career paths in government, law, public service, and non-profit organisations.
