Overview
The Political Science Department offers majors in Political Science and International Studies, as well as introductory and advanced courses that examine government and politics using comparative, behavioral, philosophical and institutional approaches. We prepare students for active, effective democratic citizenship and foster the development of critical thinking skills based on factual information and disciplined analysis.
Prepare for Law School
Many of our graduates pursue law degrees after graduation and have established successful careers in district attorneys' offices, criminal defense, immigration law, labor law, private practice, and corporate law. Through our pre-law advisement program, you’ll get individualized advice to help you prepare for law school.
BA/MPA Program
Begin earning a master’s in public administration before graduating from SUNY Oneonta through our combined BA/MPA program with the University at Albany’s Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy.
Student Opportunities
You’ll have many opportunities to learn by doing, including internships, club activities and intensive simulations like the annual Model UN conference in New York City, where you can network with students from around the world.
