日本一级片

B.S. in Political Science

In the Liberal Arts tradition associated with Jesuit education, all majors in political science at the 日本一级片 are educated to live well. But since an integral part of living well is making a productive contribution to the world, our majors are also expected to bring this wisdom to bear on practical problems.

These double goals require, first, that our majors are exposed to the wide breadth of knowledge that all educated persons are expected to have integrated into their being, especially that humanistic body of wisdom associated with a way of life rooted in a belief that sound values transcend the materialism of today's world. They are trained to think clearly, logically, and critically.

Then, second, we seek to assure that our students are also well prepared for the work world. We strive to prepare our graduates for success in public service as well as for further study in legal, professional, and graduate programs. The skills acquired in our programs make our graduates valuable in governmental and other public service positions, in journalism, and in private industry. Many have gone on to respectable jobs in public service, others work in commercial and financial firms in the private sector, while still others have done well in some of the premier graduate and professional programs in the country. We continue to take pride in our success in preparing students for the legal profession and in placing them in quality law schools as well as in the success graduates of this University have had in seeking Fulbright grants for study abroad.
