Prospective Students

Political Science is a popular liberal arts major, and one of the largest at Chapman University.  Beyond providing detailed knowledge of the political world, training in political science helps the student think clearly and communicate effectively--skills that are required in any career. 

The major helps prepare students for careers in public service, law, diplomacy, journalism, the military, and teaching.  Students who wish to go to law school may choose any major.  Nevertheless, political science remains the most frequently selected major of those students who actually go to law school.
