FOUR MAJOR TRACKS: Politics, Global Politics, Law and Politics, Business and Politics

THE MARQUETTE ADVANTAGE

FOLLOW YOUR INTEREST. Concentrate your studies in one of four major tracks: Global Politics (focusing on players and issues of global significance), Law and Politics (focusing on domestic and international law), and Politics (broadening your expertise across American politics, comparative politics, international politics and political philosophy) or business and politics (understanding capitalist democracies).

STUDY GOVERNMENT WHERE IT HAPPENS. Live, learn and work for a semester in the nation’s capital through Marquette’s very own Les Aspin Center for Government, located a mere five blocks from the Capitol.

LEARN FROM THE BEST. All poli-sci courses are taught by professors, who are experts in areas such as constitutional and international law, world security, presidential politics, the death penalty, transnational crime, urban politics, and the politics of race, ethnicity and gender — to name only a few. These are the same professors who, as a department, were named among the nation’s top 30 in an article in PS, published by the American Political Science Association.

WORK ON CAMPAIGNS. From helping the home offices of Wisconsin’s representatives and senators to lending a hand with state, county and city election races, Milwaukee offers plenty of opportunities to learn politics firsthand.

GREAT PREPARATION FOR LAW SCHOOL. Armed with sharp analytical minds and solid understanding of the purpose of government and the law, nearly a third of Marquette’s political science majors go on to law school. Another 10 percent pursue graduate studies in political science.
