What makes an OBU Political Science degree special?

Our program places a distinctive emphasis on the intersection between Christian faith and political life. Faith informs every aspect of a Christian’s participation in the political realm. Answering a vocational call in fields related to politics and law requires a comprehensive understanding both of political and legal processes and of one’s own core beliefs. We offer a full education in the academic discipline of political science, enhanced by an emphasis on this important interaction.

What are OBU grads doing with their Political Science degrees?

Grads have attended any number of law schools, including Washington and Lee, Vanderbilt, OU, Baylor, Texas Tech University School of Law and the University of Tulsa College of Law. If academics is not your goal, our graduates go on to work in international settings, the FBI and the Peace Corps. If elected politics is your goal, many of our graduates have worked in the White House, the Pentagon and various state legislative settings. Several students currently work in law firms throughout Oklahoma.
