Our Majors

Our majors come from a wide variety of backgrounds and follow many different career paths with their bachelor's degree in political science or master's degree in public administration. During their time at Fresno State our students come to know the faculty well, and in some cases are given opportunities to participate in research. Many of our students even get to present research papers at professional political science conferences. Other students become very politically active while working on their political science degrees, working on local campaigns, interning for elected officials, or working for local, state, and federal government offices. 

Degrees

We offer two programs for students, one at the undergraduate level and one graduate degree. For students especially interested in studying law, we also offer students the opportunity to earn a special certificate in legal studies and participate in our competitive moot court program.
