About this program
Bachelor of Arts in Political Science
At Hanover, political science helps students become independent thinkers and tomorrow's leaders. You'll study governments, public policies and political processes in classes small enough for informal, in-depth discussions.
Maybe you'll discuss the causes of war or the place of law in society. Maybe you'll explore politics and film, or society in contemporary Africa. Because your professors know you, they often will tailor instruction to your interests. If you like good food with your politics, you'll want to join the group that meets regularly for sessions called Pizza and Politics.
