Program overview
What Whittier College says about their program:
"At its core, being a political science student means learning and evaluating how power is created, maintained, and used in human activities.
Beyond merely knowing how governments work, this major has given me the intellectual tools to understand how people think and why they do what they do in virtually any arena. I can open a newspaper, read about what's going on in the world, and comprehend it at a level that would not have been possible without the education I received from this department.
Similarly, what I have learned does not lock me into a career in government. Understanding power dynamics is an extraordinarily useful skill that is applicable in any professional setting, be it the public, private, or nonprofit sectors. Critical thinking never ceases to be useful, no matter where you go in life."
