The Bachelor of Arts in Political Science Program was adopted in 1982 and has been revised over the years to be relevant to the present and contemporary Political Science trends and discourses. The program provides professional training for students who would like to pursue careers in governance, politics, law, Foreign Service, social\/ community service, development studies, and the academe. A considerable number of alumni from the Program are active and well-known in the different sectors such as governance, private corporations, GOs, NGOs, people\u2019s organizations as well as in the diplomatic career, in the fields of politics and law, in the academe, in policy research, and in community work. The Political Science Program strives to further expose students to contemporary issues and equip them with life-long skills to analyze global situations that impinge on local, national, and international arena. Over the years, the Program has produced a number of lawyers, judges, and heads of NGOs, graduates who pursued diplomatic careers, as well as political leaders and government officials.<\/p>\n
