About the Program
Political Science students have opportunities to learn from top experts and practitioners in their fields, reflecting our commitment to delivering the highest level of education at our public university. In addition to a challenging degree program, we emphasize experiential learning and other high-impact practices, providing our students with numerous opportunities to learn outside of the classroom. Our students typically add an interdisciplinary or other Minor, complete internships for credit locally or in Washington D.C., where they can live and work for an entire semester, travel abroad for 1-2 weeks as part of Stockton courses they take on campus, travel abroad for a whole semester, work with the U.S. State Department through our Diplomacy Lab program, develop and implement community-based and other research projects funded by the Board of Trustees Fellowships for Distinguished Students, complete a capstone research project in our Senior Seminar, become leaders in student clubs, earn honors distinctions, and more!
