  • Students in LMU's Political Science major learn to understand how political decisions are made, how those decisions can be influenced, and how values and beliefs affect policy on a local, national, and global scale. Majors are challenged to think in new ways, consider how ethics and morals affect political decisions, and examine international governments and the effect government and non-government organizations have on the world stage. LMU Political Science majors enjoy finding innovative solutions to complex problems, excel in research and analysis, and wish to develop a deeper understanding of international relations.
  • The LMU political science major provides academic challenge, real-world knowledge, and a host of exciting opportunities. Our courses enable students to understand how decisions are made, how they can influence those decisions, and how values and beliefs affect the choices we make. Political Science offers tools to solve problems that affect people locally, nationally, and globally.
  • The Political Science major challenges students to think in new ways about a variety of issues, and provides students the chance to learn with professors who are committed to providing dynamic and passionate learning environments. Students discuss the headlines of the day with peers and professors, learn through simulation what it is like to perform the jobs of the president or a member of Congress, study and work in London and Washington, D.C., learn how to craft policy, and write a proposal to develop a nonprofit organization. Students also work to understand international governments and the effect government and non-government organizations have on the world stage.
