Careers

What can you do with a Political Science degree? Anything you dare to achieve. As Daniella Ashibuogwi, Political Science B.A. '16 said, "One thing Liberal Arts nurtures within me is: I can do it all."

Pursuing a degree in Political Science means you will obtain highly marketable analysis, critical thinking, and communication skills.  Boilermakers have successful careers in public affairs, research analysis, human resources, campaign management and sales.  They become attorneys, lobbyists, elected officials, and policy advisors.
