<p>The material itself is not too difficult to understand, but it’s just a lot of reading and memorization. I had 6 books for my poli sci 2 class, and on some weeks, I had over 400 pages of reading (on most weeks it was around 100). You can skim over the readings, but if you’re someone who wants to learn rather than focusing solely on the grade, reading in depth will require lots of commitment. Also essay grading can be harsh if you’re not a particularly strong writer. </p>

<p>Most poli sci majors tend to really like studying their classes since it covers their interests (politics) so discussion sections tend to be lively and interesting. </p>

<p>I like it a lot here. Lots of info, very relevant information (many engineering and mcb majors here are politically ■■■■■■■■, ignorant, apathetic, ect… which is very dangerous), and overall great professors. I would definitely recommend it.</p>

<p>It’s also great prep for law schools. Lots of writing/reading! And poli sci majors who go onto top law schools and get into top firms can definitely make more than engineers. </p>

<p>Most liberal arts degrees (save economics), including MCB, IB, Sociology, Psychology, Poli Sci, do not lead to high paying jobs if you only have a B.A. Stating that poli sci is unemployable is besides the point- most majors are, and people seeking high pay jobs usually attend graduate school somewhere.</p>

<p>Isn’t getting a law degree becoming more and more useless (unless of course you make it to a top tier law school, but even then…)</p>

<p>While most majors are “useless”, it really depends on what you do while you are at college that can make a difference.</p>
