BA in Political Science and International Relations
The Political Science and International Relations Program at BAU benefits from being located in the heart of Washington, DC as students studying in the program not only receive instruction in courses that highlight all facets of the study of Political Science, but also have the opportunity to visit government institutions, think tanks, and research centers to see politics in action. Guest lecturers from government service, the policy community, lobbying firms, and non-governmental organizations enhance the learning experience by providing real world context to the ideas, concepts and issues which are studied in class.
