Public Service and Global Affairs

Public Service and Global Affairs offers more than just a ‘history’ or ‘political science’ education. It provides opportunities for hands-on learning and immerses you in current events. If you want to get involved in the political or current events world, this is the way to go. I’ll never regret choosing this major.
