The B.A in Government is specifically designed to prepare students for graduate school as well as for careers in fields – such as diplomacy, international business, and intelligence analysis – that require foreign language skills.

The Politics and Policy specialization prepares students for employment or graduate study in politics, public administration, and public policy. This curriculum best serves those students who want to become directly involved in the political process or in policy advising.

The Pre-Law specialization insures that graduates are grounded in government, law, writing, public speaking, logic, and other concentrations that will help them master their professional examination (LSAT) and other admissions requirements to law school. For those not interested in pursuing law school, this specialization prepares graduates for employment in public or political organizations or for work in legal fields in a non-lawyering capacity.

The International Relations specialization prepares students for careers including military and foreign service, education, international business, and law enforcement. International Relations courses help graduates better understand their role as global citizens who will live and be employed increasingly in an international, multicultural environment.

The Strategic and Intelligence Studies prepares students to demonstrate a readiness for employment or graduate school in government service or intelligence analysis.  Students will develop an understanding of the strategic and intelligence considerations when dealing with politics, technology, public safety, economics and military policy.
