With the state of global politics becoming more uncertain, examining the forces that influence policymaking and actions is more important than ever. Students of Political Science are primarily interested in understanding the role of power, material and other interests, and political institutions in our society today. 

At John Cabot University, our Political Science degree emphasizes the historical and behavioral aspects of political life in an increasingly globalized world. As an American university in Rome, we offer students a unique context for the study of American and international institutions, with a regional focus on European politics.
