LEADERS BRINGING FAITH AND POLITICS TOGETHER
A Political Science degree will shape you as a leader who is looking toward government service and political participation. You will be challenged with your studies, and you will also be prepared for the next step - whether it be graduate school or law school, or working at home or abroad in a government-related agency.
IWU's Bachelor of Science with a major in Political Science program will provide you the opportunity to participate in a number of leadership venues. Whether it's starting up a new student organization, running for student government, or working on the student paper, our students thrive in leadership positions. Students may also choose to minor in Political Science as a supplement to another IWU major.
If you are ready for a challenging endeavor - wrestling with the fundamental question of how faith and politics can work together and learning how to vigorously defend a position while treating alternate views fairly - then we invite you to explore majoring in Political Science at Indiana Wesleyan University.
