Political Science at Saint Peter’s University is a broad and versatile degree that can prepare students for a wide range of careers in both the public and private sectors.

Political Science seeks to generate knowledge and insights that can inform policymaking, improve governance, and contribute to a deeper understanding of political processes and systems.

  • How do political systems evolve and change over time?

  • What are the impacts of policies and political decisions on society?

  • What are the processes of decision-making within political systems?

  • How can political systems be improved to better serve the needs of citizens?
