Our students draw on a firm grounding in political theory and historical context to gain insights into such topics as African politics, Islamic fundamentalism, and the role of mass media in American politics.
Politics students take their grounding in American politics, comparative politics, international relations, political theory, and public law to research with faculty and to off-campus opportunities, from part-time work in congressional or law offices to interning in Chicago agencies, like the Chicago Housing Authority.
