FAQ
Poli sci or pre-law?
Poli sci is a great pre-law major. So is anything writing-heavy. Don't major in 'pre-law' specifically.
DC internships?
Very helpful for direct careers. Many require unpaid or low-paid summer commitments.
Master's value?
MPP, MPA, or international affairs MA all open specific career paths. Choose by intended path.
