Make change happen
Maybe you’ve always enjoyed learning how change happens in the government and society. Maybe you’ve recently become passionate about a particular cause. Or maybe you’re looking for a great foundation for law school. Political science helps you get ready for all these paths and more. You'll learn how government works, who's involved and why some changes happen (and some don’t).
Politics have a huge effect on your daily life – especially at the local and state levels. Studying political science helps you understand all levels of government. Plus, the writing, analysis and communication skills are helpful in any and every career.
LMC Votes! is a non-partisan, student led organization that encourages student participation in the election process. LMC was named a Voter Friendly Campus for the fourth year in a row.
Why study political science at LMC?
Change the subject. Politics and power go hand in hand – and studying political science helps you understand how. Whether you want to lobby for a cause or represent your community, you’ll learn how to start the conversation – and keep it going.
Change with the times. The political climate, much like the overall culture, morphs over time. Studying political science helps you see these shifts and understand their impact. Plus, it helps you see past trends and use them to understand historical events.
Change of pace. Once you've finished classes at LMC, you can easily transfer to a four-year school. You could study law, public policy, government, economic management and more. No matter which career you choose, you’ll hone your writing, analysis and communication skills.
