Graduate and Professional Schools

For many students, the political science major provides the foundation for a career that will involve further study at the graduate level. Thus, many political science graduates have gone on to do graduate work in political science or public administration. Law school is also an option that is pursued by political science graduates. The Political Science program at Northeastern offers a variety of courses, including Constitutional Law, Civil Liberties, and Administrative Law, which are excellent preparation for law school. 

The Political Science faculty will be glad to discuss the opportunities that are provided by graduate education and to assist students in selecting an appropriate graduate or professional school.
