In the Department of Political Science, students can pursue majors in&nbsp;Political Science&nbsp;or&nbsp;International Studies, gaining&nbsp;knowledge&nbsp;and hands-on experience to address today\u2019s most pressing political and global challenges. Here, your curiosity becomes your strength\u2014and your education prepares you to make a difference.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In&nbsp;the&nbsp;Political Science&nbsp;program, students develop strong writing, analytical, and communications skills and take courses across four&nbsp;main areas&nbsp;of political science:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>American politics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>comparative politics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>political theory<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>international relations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"default\">Political&nbsp;Science&nbsp;offers both a major and a minor \u2013 both online or in-person or a mix of both&nbsp;types&nbsp;of classes, providing maximum flexibility in choice of class format and electives.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-u-flex uwm-u-flex--wrap uwm-u-flex--left\">\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-u-mr-20 uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/political-science\/students\/undergraduate\/undergraduate-online-education\/\" rel=\"\">Is the Online Program Right for You?<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The International Studies major&nbsp;invites students to explore global challenges from multiple angles. With concentrations in&nbsp;<strong>International Politics &amp; World Affairs<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>International Economics &amp; Development<\/strong>,&nbsp;students will deepen their&nbsp;understanding of&nbsp;how nations&nbsp;interact;&nbsp;economies evolve, and global communities change.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Explore our student resources below to get a taste of what life as a 51ÁÔÆæ student is like and specifically the opportunities available to&nbsp;our&nbsp;students.&nbsp;Successful college students take advantage of all the resources available to them and graduate, not just with a degree, but with a full resume of experiences that can lead to that first post-college job or acceptance to their preferred graduate program.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is information about internships, scholarships, the law studies concentration, other certificates to complement your political science studies, the mock trial student organization, summer program in Washington, DC, and more.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personalized&nbsp;advising&nbsp;is provided to each major from faculty members who are specialists in the student\u2019s field of interest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
