Political Science Minor
Our mission in the Hardin-Simmons Political Science program is to prepare graduates with the knowledge and skills necessary to lead in civic and professional life in a manner enlightened by Christian faith and values. We strive to be a home for students who, through the study of government both inside and outside of the classroom, are transformed into graduates known for their tenacity, creativity, intellectual rigor, and servant leadership.
We intend for each of our graduates to grow in the knowledge of their field, develop the skills necessary to compete after graduation, and know how their values matter as they lead in their communities. Our political science curriculum is built with these things in mind.

Why study Political Science at HSU?
Hands-on Experience
Political Science students at HSU have many opportunities to receive hands-on experience in matters relevant to their studies. In fact, we require it. Our students have interned with our local member of Congress, with nearby attorneys, and assisted refugees with a nonprofit organization.
Innovative Curriculum
Our curriculum is constantly progressing to embrace the most relevant, current matters from the global to the local level.
Grad School Ready
More than half of our recent graduates have been admitted to, or are currently attending, law or graduate school.
