Politics and Law

Program Overview

Our students are engaged, thoughtful citizens who explore how culture, social change, and history shape politics and law. Explore complex problems from the role of government in society to the current nature of democracy, freedom, and civil rights. 

Take advantage of the flexible curriculum and discover a specific policy or regional area that you are passionate about. From health and international business law to foreign policy, you will collaborate with inspiring faculty and acquire skills to navigate a world shaped by political and legal decisions. 

At Bryant, we believe in learning by doing. Politics and Law students participate in internships, practicums, research collaborations with faculty, and student run organizations.
