Political Science (Bachelor of Arts)
Political science deals with how we reach the collective decisions that shape our common fate. Political scientists study topics such as the exercise of power and influence; sources and resolution of conflicts; the relationship of politics to the economy, culture, and other aspects of society; the adoption and implementation of public policies; and the development of political systems and political ideas. These topics are studied at all levels, from the local to the global. Roosevelt University is ideally located for studying politics. From our campus in downtown Chicago, Roosevelt students study politics in one of the country's most dynamic metropolitan areas. Government is the area's largest employer and the city is home to a large number of foreign consulates, political offices, and advocacy groups.
