Career Outlook
If you're a polis ci purist, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that political scientists generally find work in public policy, research, nonprofit, political lobbying, and social organizations, earning $86,750 on average. But political science is one of many liberal arts majors (like history, sociology and communications) that most employers accept as proof that you're well-trained in writing, critical thinking and complex analysis. It's a degree you can use nearly anywhere.

Political Science Bachelor's Degrees Online

Political science is a popular degree among liberal arts colleges and universities, and distance learning programs have responded to the interest by offering online degrees in the subject. Political science is a broad-based degree that can be broken up into various specializations, each with its own career applications. Some of these specializations include:

International relations and diplomacy
Political theory and policy
Public administration

Political science has obvious implications in diplomacy and trade on a national and international level, but that's not the only career path available. Graduates of political science programs often go on to work in the public sector, for large businesses, or at non-profit organizations.
