comprehensive understanding of the essential aspects of politics. We offer courses in all subfields of the discipline, with offerings in American government, political theory, comparative politics, and international relations. We give students the analytical and critical tools necessary to evaluate political events and more importantly, to become actively engaged citizens. Our most common placement has been law school and the majority of those students have received scholarship offers to attend. However, a Political Science degree opens numerous career paths and aside from law school, we have placed students in law enforcement, journalism, graduate school, the military, business, education, and government.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><i>Students must choose either the legal studies or international politics concentration.\u00a0 The legal studies concentration is designed for students who wish to pursue a career in law or American Politics.\u00a0 The international politics concentration focuses on global issues and is ideal for students who wish to pursue graduate studies or careers involving diplomacy, foreign policy, and trade.<\/i><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-22a3dad7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"22a3dad7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2adaf003\" data-id=\"2adaf003\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26871d9b elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"26871d9b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2a4e0548 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2a4e0548\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;gradient&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-21e56793\" data-id=\"21e56793\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-393f2f0b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"393f2f0b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-58da3c63\" data-id=\"58da3c63\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7768b7b1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7768b7b1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"267\" height=\"400\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.nicholls.edu\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2019\/09\/0815-david-whitney-2018-267x400.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-7868 lazyload\" alt=\"david whitney\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nicholls.edu\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2019\/09\/0815-david-whitney-2018-267x400.jpg 267w, https:\/\/www.nicholls.edu\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2019\/09\/0815-david-whitney-2018-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nicholls.edu\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2019\/09\/0815-david-whitney-2018-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.nicholls.edu\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2019\/09\/0815-david-whitney-2018.jpg 1280w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 267px;
