politics: School boards banning books. State legislatures restricting abortion. Insurrectionists attacking the U.S. Capitol. Authoritarians threaten democracy in many countries. Russia invading Ukraine. Policies on energy and the environment promise to change all of our lives. It seems like everywhere you turn, politics is rocking our lives like never before. Why is there so much turmoil? Where did it come from? Where is it likely to lead? Most importantly, what can we do?<br><br>Questions like these lie at the core of political science. Political science is the study of political institutions, processes, and players at all levels of government and at the global level. It examines them in a variety of contexts: institutional, legal, historical, behavioral, philosophical, sociological, and political-economic. Ultimately, political science is about power: who has it, how they got it, how they use it, and how they keep it.<br><br>As a political science major at the University of Michigan-Flint, you\u2019ll become highly skilled in the core subject areas within the discipline. But equally important, the political science program harnesses logic, knowledge and passion and will teach you how to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Think critically and analytically<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Express yourself orally and in writing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Conduct systematic research<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Solve complex problems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Understand and participate in your community<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Learn on the job and throughout life<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mb-2 pr-5\">The skills and knowledge you\u2019ll develop at UM-Flint are transferable. You will prepare to work in government and politics, public policy, advocacy, nonprofits, business, journalism, and many other areas. They\u2019ll also equip you for graduate studies in fields such as law, public administration, public policy, education, public health, journalism, and academic social sciences.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-4 pr-5\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-primary-background-color has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"555\" height=\"370\" src=\"https:\/\/www-s3.umflint.edu\/wp\/blogs.dir\/109\/files\/2025\/01\/Tyrice-Denson-1.jpg\" alt=\"Tyrice Denson\" class=\"wp-image-819\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www-s3.umflint.edu\/wp\/blogs.dir\/109\/files\/2025\/01\/Tyrice-Denson-1.jpg 555w, https:\/\/www-s3.umflint.edu\/wp\/blogs.dir\/109\/files\/2025\/01\/Tyrice-Denson-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 555px) 100vw, 555px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have always been interested in going into politics or being an attorney and Political Science is a common pathway for both.
