POLITIČKE NAUKE

Government impacts almost everything around us, from the condition of the roads we travel to the signal for our smartphones. Studying political science will give you a deeper understanding of how government operates, and the skills to influence it for the better. From public policy to justice, local issues to international relations, political science is the key to understanding what Aristotle called the affairs of the people.

The Political Science degree is offered through the Center for International Studies, the longest-running center of its kind in Houston. The Center empowers you with knowledge and prepares you for a dynamic spectrum of global careers, from advocacy to commerce, diplomacy and public service.

The University of St. Thomas (UST) is Houston's Catholic University, committed to the religious, ethical and intellectual traditions of Catholic higher education. For more than 70 years, we have been graduating students like you into successful careers in medicine, education, business, public administration and more – throughout Houston and across the globe.

Our student body reflects the rich diversity of the city itself. We welcome undergraduate and graduate students of all faiths and of no faith.

The campus is in Houston's Museum District and Innovation Corridor, a diverse and vibrant urban environment with professional opportunities. We're just steps from downtown and the famed Texas Medical Center where many students perform prestigious internships.
