Političke Nauke, Bachelor

At Beloit, political science students bring their unique experiences to classes ranging from classical justice, women and politics in Africa, and environmental politics to race and ethnicity in America, comparative health policy, and human rights. In any given class, you may find yourself taking part in a U.N. simulation, writing a policy brief, or running a shadow campaign for a congressional candidate.

Political science students often embrace our study abroad programs, with recent students spending semesters in Washington, D.C., Amsterdam, etc. Many of our students go on to win prestigious Fulbright Scholarships to continue this work after graduation.

Students often combine a political science major with one of Beloit’s many interdisciplinary programs. Our faculty teach courses in political science and international relations and programs like critical identity studies, environmental studies, health and society, Latin American and Caribbean studies, and law and justice, to name a few.

For more than 50 years, Beloiters have used the world around us as a classroom. Beloit College engages the intelligence, imagination, and curiosity of its students, empowering them to lead fulfilling lives marked by high achievement, personal responsibility, and public contribution in a diverse society. Our emphasis on international and interdisciplinary perspectives, the integration of knowledge with experience, and close collaboration among peers, professors, and staff equips our students to approach the world's complex problems ethically and thoughtfully.

We believe people learn best by doing. Across our 50+ majors, innovative programs, and campus resources, Beloit makes sure students have every opportunity to build strong resumes and contribute to our wider community.

Embedded in every experience at Beloit are opportunities for students to be effective communicators, creative problem solvers, productive collaborators, and intellectually and professionally agile.

Beloit's close-knit community means open-door policies, more mentors than mascots, support for people of diverse backgrounds, traditions that run deep, and unexpected connections with people and places beyond campus.
