<p>So UT does not offer a Political Science major and that is what I was hoping to major in. So, I looked at the other majors and I think the closest things to Poli Sci are government and Public Policy. Can anyone shed any light on the merit of those degrees or how they are?</p>
<p>government is the same as political science, it’s just a different name. Harvard calls it Government as well.</p>
<p>A bachelor’s degree in poli sci/govt. could get you into law school if you have the high gpa to go with it.</p>
<p>If you want to go to law school, major in whatever you want. Majoring in government will in no way help you get into law school.</p>
