Political Science

The Department of History and Politics offers programs in both disciplines to provide students with the essential elements of liberal learning. The Political Science program helps students cultivate perspective, develop critical thinking and communication skills, and understand the economic, social, and political systems within which we live and work.

Drexel University offers both a Bachelor of Arts (BA) and a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Political Science, enabling students to choose the program that best fits their future goals.The BS program provides a framework for those students who want to focus specifically on regulatory politics and public policy.The BA program provides a more traditional course of study, which includes language requirements and allows for options in the fulfillment of math and science requirements. Whether they are preparing to enter law school, the business world, or graduate school, students can shape a curriculum that meets their needs.Those interested in careers that combine history and political science may also choose to double major in those subjects.
