POL 2000: Vocations in Political Science: Law, Government, and International Affairs (2023-2024)

View all POL classes

The discipline of political science prepares students for a diverse set of professions: law, public policy, government, civil society, military service, and international affairs. The course will examine the various fields set out above - encompassing all tracks within the major - as well as options for graduate training in those areas. At the same time, the course encourages students to reflect more deeply on their individual vocation and the diverse paths to professional success in their chosen field, e.g. the foreign service, law, civil service, etc. The course's pre-professional focus also serves to deepen the integration of political science within the School of Business, Government, and Economics.
