The Bachelor of Arts in Political Science degree program at CBU offers a balanced curriculum that serves as a solid educational foundation for students interested in pursuing a career in public service, teaching, and non-profit organizations or attending law school or another graduate program. Students develop a broad understanding of political processes, government systems, and public policy from historical and current as well as domestic and international perspectives.

Students also emerge from the program with skill sets employers from the private and public sectors actively seek. Rigorous and relevant coursework challenges and motivates students to strengthen their verbal and written skills, critical thinking processes, and ability to choose and defend positions on the important issues of today. Students are taught not what to think, but how to critically think for themselves.

Led by faculty dedicated to Christian values as well as to their students’ success, small classrooms provide interactive environments in which students can expand their knowledge and examine their own beliefs. Keeping with CBU’s faith-based mission, classes are taught from a Christian perspective that emphasizes the ethical component of political science and public policy.
