What is political science? Why study political science? What are the major subdisciplines within the broad discipline of political science? What are some career options available to those who major or minor in political science? Why should political science interest you? How does it impact your life?

Video addendum: Public policy/ administration and public law are two additional subdisciplines within the broader discipline of political science. Other career options available to political science majors include, but are not limited to, becoming a lobbyist, campaign manager or consultant, or an attorney. The study of political science provides excellent training for law school. Please see the links in the video description above to learn more about Political Science.

+Professor Tamir Sukkary Thanks for the video. I Only have 3 questions. 1.Do you know how i can go about understanding the US budget and economy ( how does it works best, what impacts it)? 2. where do i go to compare the different policies of the president/ Ex If i wanted to compare Pres. Clinton to Pres. Reagan where would i go to compare there policies. 3. How do i keep up with the senate and what laws are being proposed and passed.

Bunch of assholes. Don't listen to these folks! political science as a major is trash and they know it-.- most of them end up selling life insurance or some nonsense. Very few get the good jobs, they usually already have connections for those jobs to begin with or work extremely hard for it. Real majors are stem bro. Chemistry, mathematics, engineering, computer science, you know...nerd shit. Another great option is traid school, electricians, ac Refrigeration, wielding. They make good money with no college debt and always in demand. Think of it like this, during this Corona pandemic. Chemists, biologists, working the art of medicine are the MOST valuable citizens while the politicians are useless-.- I would highly recommend looking into chemistry if your looking at majors. It's a solid choice, with easy math. Lots of jobs always in demand. You can make pretty much anything in nature. Closest thing to being a wizard or god. In high school everyone sleeps on it while looking into art degrees and social science like psychology 😴. Everyone wants psychology lol Best part about chemistry, everyone will think your smart just for saying "I'm studying chemistry";). Also you will no longer be afraid of chemicals and can take better care of yourself. I'm in university, senior in chemistry

[@RocketDRA]

@@oscarbear7498 You r an idiot. Chemestry is not for everybody. Nor is political science..... as in any other line of work, you can make a good living out of it, if you put hard work and efford.

[@mikhael223]

Oscar Garcia Coronavirus has nothing to do with politics? Interesting perspective.

[@DojKim]

For me, learning poli-sci has been the most humbling experience in my life. People tend to thoroughly believe that their thoughts and opinions are ultimately the correct ones, but learning about different perspectives and approaches to tackling various issues allowed me to see that not one perspective is greater than the other while they all hold some level of valid reasoning. This was very eye opening and I was able to broaden my spectrum of tolerance and understanding of different people and their social/ political thought/opinions. I wish more people would learn about polisci it will definitely educate ourselves to respect each other in constructive manner.

[@AllThingsPoliticalScience]

Agreed! Thank you for your thoughtful comment. Best wishes to you!

[@lalitthapa101]

Same here.I've always had a curious mind-wanted to learn everything even if it was only basic. But pol science is just the top one for me. Only history is up there in that level for me. Learned so many things,became more politically aware and just gave me a whole different perspective on things.

I am a retired state worker now. I took political science because I wanted to go to law school which never happen. But even though I hated it, It really help me. I had to look at data to form a opinion. I had to know the law and the constitution. When I took political science we were required to take statistic, history Philosphy, psy 101, and social studies.And also economic. Though the skills I learn in constitutional law, statistic, and how to read data. And I had to read a lot. So people there are skills you get from a degree in this field. This pass election really help me because most people don't know the difference types of government

Greetings, Professor Sukkary. Back in high school where I was at a crossroads because I didn’t know at the time as to what program I want to take for college, I saw this video. After watching it, I got really curious and excited about the field of politics. Fast forward to almost 4 years later, here I am at one of the most prestigious schools in the Philippines, a third year student taking the program BA - Political Science and I have been really enjoying my major. Thank you for enlightening me about this discipline and your video really influenced me in my decision for college. Thank you so much for introducing the field of political science to me, professor!

Hi, Iyar. Thank you for the heartfelt message. I am so glad that the video had a positive impact on you. Best wishes for success in your studies! Please stay in touch. :)

[@HZhamer445]

​@@AllThingsPoliticalScience Greetings, professor! And just like that, I have finished my bachelor's degree in political science. Who would’ve thought that a simple and straightforward introductory video regarding the field of polisci can profoundly affect a person's life and their decision for their future. I have no regrets with finishing my degree, professor. I liked the study of politics in general and every subdiscipline that we have tackled (especially IR, that's my favorite actually). This is a reminder that your video did in fact affect a person's life in a positive way, and I hope that it affects every uncertain, anxious, and lost teenager in the same manner, especially those who are not yet sure of what course they want to pursue for college. Now that I'm finished with political science, I plan on taking law school next and maybe even getting a master's degree in IR after law school (I might be getting ahead of myself lol, I'll do it one at a time hahaha!). Thank you, Professor Sukkary! I hope you're doing well despite these troubling times and the democratic backsliding that's taking place. Stay safe!

I'm a college student majoring in kinesiology. Lol for sure kinesiology is a different field than political science. The reason why I chose my major is that I wanted to be a physical therapist and help people recover. Now, I'm stuck between two roads of either a healthcare pathway or a law pathway. Political science is something that I'm thinking of having a minor in. Who knows what if I chose to go to law school. My family told me that I have a great voice and that I speak well in terms of debating lol. For now, still thinking about whether or not I should get that minor.

I did political science at the University of Amsterdam 35 years ago. Now, my son does the same study at the same university. That amazed me, because I never discussed politics with him, haha. I noticed that the field of political science, which in the Netherlands started only after WW2, made good progress. It is not more methodical, better theoretical underpinnings. I am pleased about that.

[@AllThingsPoliticalScience]

Very interesting. I, too, enjoy political theory. Thank you for your comment. Best wishes to you and your son! :)

First of all, great video by you Professor Tamir. So motivating! I have a question for you: Would it be the same to study political science and government policies in the US as it is in another country, I'm currently a student in the US and planning to move to UK next year. Am I going to be able to continue my study of political science in different country? thank you

[@AllThingsPoliticalScience]

Nathaniel Samuel : Yes, you can most certainly continue your studies of political science in the U.K. It won't be the same (e.g., differences in approach), but it will be good for you to get a comparative perspective. Thank you for your nice comments and sharing the video! Best wishes for success in your future studies! Stay in touch. :)

I'm going for a business major and so I was told I needed to take a Posc class. It's really interesting to see just how much politics affects business, and my professor told me that high class people vote, and the majority of them own a business. Thanks for the video! I'm even more motivated to pass my Posc class! p.s. it's a lecture heavy class so 60/40% is lecture 😓

[@AllThingsPoliticalScience]

You are welcome! I'm glad the video served as a source of motivation for you. Best wishes with your future studies! :)

Quick question: I really want to study in the US as a foreign student and major in political science - but is it gonna be hard for me to find a job or get high salaries if I’m not born american?

[@AllThingsPoliticalScience]

There are plenty of immigrants in the United States with high-paying jobs. Perhaps others in this community may want to share their thoughts as well?

[@puzanmukhia5173]

I have completed Bachelors of Arts in Political science (hons) a year ago. But I had to compromise in PGDTM (post graduate diploma in tea management) due to weak financial background. Hope someday I will back to my subject again. Its awkward to study Camellia sinensis from Aristotle and Marx. desperately wanted to go further again into this subject. This video is supportive.

About to enter university this year as a communications major but this video really changed my mind. I recently got really into politics due to recent events and I always wanted to be a humanitarian focusing on the plights of minorities so Poli Sci might be the way to go for me. But just to appease my parents I'll probably take some business minor
