Department of Legal Studies and Political Science

Lead change. Fight for justice. Bridge differences. Build community.

Government – at the local, state, and national and international level – is one of the most powerful forces impacting people, communities, and fields and industries that impact our everyday life.

As a political science major at the University of New Haven, you’ll cultivate an understanding of the complex political system and its major players, and then you’ll explore how and where you can make an impact. You’ll do research with real policymakers, join the University’s award-winning Model United Nations team, or pursue a variety of internships in Hartford, Washington, D.C., or New York City.
