Political Science Major
Bachelor of Arts Degree
A Graduate’s Perspective
I am so thankful that I studied political science at a Christian college. I have learned history, philosophy, and public policy all from a Christian perspective. The political science instructors did a great job at setting the bar challengingly high, for which I am very grateful. Through my classes, I met people with the same passion and vision to have a godly influence on our government and society which has grown increasingly immoral. Because of the excellent academic training I have received, I am ready to make a lasting difference for God in American society and its political culture. — Stephanie, PCC 2009 Graduate

The United States constitutional system with its hallmark of limited government is presented as the model of free states for the modern world.
