The Catholic University of America

Undergraduate Programs

The undergraduate program in Politics is one of the most popular at Catholic University. Students in the major must complete 14 politics courses, including three introductory classes in each of the sub-concentrations of the field (American government, political theory, and world politics). Many students also get “hands-on” experience in the world of politics through off-campus internships, including on Capitol Hill, in the executive branch, in government agencies, and in non-governmental organizations. Limited credit is available for politics-related internships in the junior and senior year. Study abroad programs offered through the university are also popular.
