The purpose of an associate of arts degree in political science is to prepare students for transfer into a bachelor’s degree political science program at a four-year college or university. This program assists students who are planning careers in public administration, social science education, or who are planning to go to law school after earning their bachelor’s degree. Students successfully completing this program will understand the structure, history, and administration of federal and state government, along with some of the mathematical techniques used to analyze the effects of government policies. Course work features classes in government, economics, sociology and other subjects for a total of 60 semester hours.
