Political Science

Whether you plan to pursue a political science career or a position in another field, a foundation in political science subjects is fundamental to understanding your rights and the distribution of power within our country’s government structure. Political science courses at Mesa College will give you the tools to understand how government policies affect you and others, and help you compare the ways different cultures, social structures, and forms of government influence “who gets what, when, and how” around the world. You will also have the opportunity to expand your sensitivity to diversity with our multicultural and women’s studies elective courses. As you learn about the political landscape that surrounds you and prepare to earn your associate degree or associate degree for transfer, you will be able to articulate your own political identity and address contemporary issues of freedom, justice, and power.
