Political Science Degrees
Nobel laureate Thomas Mann wrote, “Everything is politics.” So it makes sense that with a political science degree from Nebraska Wesleyan, you can do just about anything.
ϲϴȫ Political Science alumni succeed in business and law and foreign policy and global security and criminal science. They’re CEOs and analysts and teachers and civil servants. They’re on Capitol Hill and in city halls. They manage campaigns, win elections and serve their communities.
And they do it using skills they built right here at ϲϴȫ.
Get amazing results.
You can seize opportunities to study internationally or intern through ϲϴȫ’s Capitol Hill Internship Program (CHIP) and still graduate in four years. Intern at the White House, work with trade programs in Africa or pursue any number of career interests.
Experiences like these grab the attention of top graduate programs in a variety of fields. A third of Nebraska Wesleyan’s political science majors are admitted to law programs across the country—including at Ivy League schools.
ϲϴȫ Political Science also offers the networking, coaching and mentoring you need to compete at your best for top scholarships for graduate work and international study. Roughly 45 percent of students on campus earning prestige awards like Fulbright, Boren, Truman and even Rhodes scholarships are political science majors.

ϲϴȫ Political Science professors have a range of interests and a commitment to undergraduate education that promise to engage and challenge you.
