What is life like as Political Science Undergrad?
For the research project I decided to try to find some answers to a question that I have had for quite some time. What will my college experience and my future be if I major in political science as an undergraduate? Once I started to search the internet for my answer I realized that whatever information I take from this search will not be a for sure answer because we all experience different things or take different paths. With that in mind here is a general consensus on life as a political science undergrad. For starters academically it is mostly reading and writing which makes sense; on the other hand, the science part of political science is very important as well. Undergrads in this major have to be able to understand and explain complex political theories, statistics, and the psychology of politics in addition to reading and writing extensively about the topic. I also found out that many of the concepts of political science can be used in a broad scope of how our society works in general.While in college many political science undergrads get involved in organizations like student government, sororities/ fraternities, and political or social clubs on their campus to gain experience in that field. Life after college for political science undergrads is an open field for careers in many sectors. You could be a Lawyer, a journalist, or even a world traveler not simply a politician with that degree. The last thing I learned was that unfortunately no matter how knowledgeable in the field of political science people especially on social media or your family will still think they no more than you about politics. Overall this research has not only informed me more about my future major it has made me feel more secure and confident in my decision to study political science.
