Job Opportunity Potential
Political science doesn't prepare students for A career. Political Science prepares you for DOZENS of careers. How can we say that? Because Political Science immerses you in the skills that employers want:
- Critical thinking,
- Information literacy,
- Oral and written communication,
- Ethical citizenship,
- Problem solving,
- Understanding of diversity/global issues,
- Collaboration
Political Science majors get jobs. In fact, Political Science is a growth industry. Many employers hire Political Science majors over others because our unique set of skills makes our majors ready to engage in high-level strategic work from Day One on the job. Political Science majors are leaders, whose knowledge of history and culture assist them in dealing with clients and dealing with new market trends. A survey of employers for the American Association of Colleges & Universities found that critical thinking, clear communication, and problem solving were more important than any particular undergraduate major in hiring decisions. These are exactly the skills developed and reinforced in Radford’s general education and Political Science curricula.
