Bachelor of Arts in Political Science (BA)

The BA program in Political Science at MIT University enables students to explore the field of political science through multiple lenses: as a study focused on human dynamics, as an analysis of culture and society, and through experimental and theoretical research. This comprehensive approach combines political theory with practical application, enabling the shaping of new policies, governance strategies, civic initiatives, research methods, political interventions, and innovative solutions to both global and local political issues. Students will not only develop political theories but also participate in real-world projects and research to test and validate their concepts.
