Political science graduates have a large number of employment opportunities. Some go into government service, non-profit agencies or the private sector while others manage political campaigns or seek elective office.

Examples of employers who seek those with a political science degree include local, state, or national government, lobbying organizations, non-profit agencies, consulting firms, colleges and universities, news outlets, and international agencies such as the United Nations.
