Degrees in political science and international relations are a strong foundation for careers in a number of areas, including local, state or national government, law, transnational governmental or non-governmental organizations, labor and industrial relations, city management and urban planning, political consulting and campaign management, interest groups and social interest lobbying, and journalism.

        We have an 82-page booklet from the American Political Science Association titled "Careers and the Study of Political Science" available in the department for all students.
