College of the Redwoods
Political Science
About
Political Science is the
study of politics and government and one of several academic disciplines in the
Division of Arts, Languages, and Social Sciences at College of the
Redwoods. Political Science makes an
excellent undergraduate major or minor, affording students a number of career
opportunities. While College of the
Redwoods does not offer a formal degree program in Political Science, students
should find that they are able to take enough courses to provide a solid
foundation in the discipline should they decide to major or minor in Political
Science upon transferring to a 4-year college or university. Even if you dont plan to major
in political science or transfer to a 4-year institution, you should still
consider enrolling in one or more Political Science courses. By learning more about the political system
in which we live, students are able to acquire the tools necessary to become
active participants in the political process.
Students in Political Science
frequently go on to pursue careers in government, law, teaching, foreign
service, business, political activism, and journalism. Furthermore, an undergraduate degree in
Political Science provides an excellent background for graduate study in fields
such as law, public administration, and business. Political Science (POLSC) course descriptions
can be found online in the College
Catalog and current-semester course offerings are accessible through WebAdvisor.
