Careers in Political Science
Traditionally, students who major in political science at Lebanon Valley
have had the following career objectives: law school and law; party or interest
group politics; secondary education; political journalism; or foreign service.
Law and politics have been the most prominent career objectives of past Lebanon
Valley students. Our political science graduates have gone on to attend some
of the most prestigious law schools in the country, including Harvard, Temple,
Stanford, and The College of William and Mary.
Additionally, several of our recent students have entered politics. One has
run for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. Others work for individual
state senators and representatives or for legislative committees.
