This major gives students opportunity to study the institution of government and its role in
society. At PCC, government is presented as a God-ordained institution for establishment and
maintenance of law and order. The United States constitutional system with its hallmark of limited
government is presented as the model of free states for the modern world.
Political science major courses focus on political topics such as America’s founding, public
administration, and political theory all from a Christian perspective that is ethical and
traditional in orientation. Courses on Public Speaking and Debate develop these skills. Political
science graduates have pursued careers in politics, law, journalism, and education.
