The Department of History, Political Science, and Geography offers degrees that prepare students for a wide range of careers.<\/p>\n
Graduates in history enter a variety of professional fields and work as historians in government agencies, archives, museums, libraries, and non-profit institutions. Those earning degrees in political science understand the governing process and its relationship to complex issues arising in a modern society. Political science graduates are also prepared for many professions and find employment in both the private and public sector.<\/p>\n
The department also provides a curriculum for history or political science majors who plan to enter law school following graduation. SAU has entered into a 4+3 agreement with Bowen Law School at University of Arkansas-Little Rock that guarantees admission to any student graduating SAU with a 3.4 GPA and a 154 LSAT score.<\/p>\n
The social studies education program combines a major in history with a minor in education. A candidate who would like to teach high school social studies has the opportunity to study history in depth and develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to be an effective day-one-ready classroom teacher.<\/p>\n
Finally, the department offers a 4+1 MPA program. Designed as a joint BA\/MPA degree, the Master of Public Administration 4+1 program will allow students to earn both an undergraduate degree in political science and a graduate degree in public administration in just five years.<\/p>\n
