I’ve always been interested in government, and somewhat in contemporary politics,
but it wasn’t until I found the area of political theory that I knew I wanted to be
a Political Science major. I enjoy the philosophies of government, and thinking about
the “big ideas” behind the purpose and use of government. Justice and Law have always
been fascinating, and Political Science is a great foundation for future law studies.
