About our Department

The Department of Political Science offers a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Science and a Master's of Public Administration. Our department also allows offers a minor in Political Science. Although Cal Poly Pomona enrolls over 20,000 undergraduates, our department is proud to maintain small classes for both our undergraduate and graduate courses. The following two links explains our department's mission statement and learning outcomes:

Courses include basic training in political science, but our students engage in multiple subfields in over 50 undergraduate courses. Our undergraduates work with faculty members to write senior theses or intern with a local government or administrative agency. Our Master's students work with faculty members to write a Master's Thesis or complete a project with a local public service organization. 

Students who are interested in the political science major should contact a member of our faculty. Undergraduates should work closely with faculty to develop a coherent program of study.  For more information, see the Advising link.
