Political phenomena, from the behavior of individual citizens to the international arena, are the subject of academic inquiry in the field of political science. At New England College, students in the political science program investigate the moral and ethical implications of political action and develop an understanding of political institutions and the processes associated with them.

This program emphasizes a solid foundation in critical thinking and the development of strong writing skills. Through the study of political science, students are prepared for roles as engaged citizens of their community, their country, and the world.
