Courses are offered in four broad areas:

American Government and Politics
Comparative Politics
International Relations
Political Theory and Mehodology

Students must complete at least one course in each of these areas, but they have considerable discretion in selecting upper-division courses matching their own interests. Political Science majors will take 36 credits in Political Science or Public Policy courses. An 18-credit Political Science minor is also available.

Penn State Harrisburg’s proximity to the state capital and Washington, D.C., provides students with a rich environment for both study and internships. In addition to our full-time faculty, Political Science draws upon the expertise of part-time faculty with unique professional strengths and qualifications. In recent years, students have explored politics and political issues in classes taught by a former lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania, a state senator, a former legal counsel for the National Security Council, a lobbyist for a major corporation, a corrections system administrator, and a governor’s press secretary. This integration of academic study with the “real world” of politics and policy making is further enhanced through a variety of quality internships, which are described below.

For a B.A. degree in Political Science, a minimum of 123 credits is required.

Entry to the Major

Entry to the Public Policy major requires a 2.00 or higher cumulative grade-point average and an average of C (2.00) or better in any course already taken in the major.
