Delving into domestic and foreign politics by examining ideas and analyzing governments and political trends, our comprehensive programs focus on three core areas of strength: American politics, international studies, and legal theory. Under the mentorship of our expert faculty, through challenging courses and hands-on research, you will probe political problems and governance from all angles, leading you to develop creative, policy-based solutions. Combining theory and methods to study institutions, systems, and policies that make up public life, TU encourages responsible and active citizenship with a wide range of professional opportunities and career paths to opt for.
Raising questions of ethics and the spirit of democracy, our extensive curriculum prepares graduates for careers in law, international affairs, government agencies and political offices, journalism, teaching, nonprofit activities, corporate strategy, military, and police. TU graduates have been admitted to Harvard, Yale, Columbia, the London School of Economics, Cambridge University, and more.
