At the center of George Fox University's political science major is the conviction that Jesus Christ is the Lord of all creation--including politics. As such, majors are encouraged to think about the relationship between Christianity and politics in a thorough and systematic manner.

The political science major helps provide a solid liberal arts education that enables graduates to succeed in any field they choose. It also provides specific skills necessary for public service, careers in government and politics, conflict resolution, graduate school, law school, and positions in private or nonprofit businesses that require knowledge of politics.

The major is designed to insure that all graduates have a solid background in the discipline, while at the same time allowing students to emphasize particular fields. Possible fields of emphasis include: American Institutions, Law, Peace Studies, Political Theory, Public Policy, International Relations, and Comparative Government.
