Residential B.A. in Government: Politics & Policy

Gain a diverse introduction to political and economic ideas, government institutions, free market processes, and more through our B.A. in Government: Politics & Policy degree.

Learn more about the close relationship between a system of limited constitutional government and the free enterprise economy. And get an overview of the Christian worldview with regard to government and economics.

Prepare for your career with this degree as you compare the scope, methodologies, and major schools of political science, including its links with history, economics, and other cognate fields.
