Program Description

The Los Medanos College Social Science Department invites the students of the esteemed institution to take the academic journey through the Associate Degree in Political Science; an experience that will explore “who gets what, when, and how,” and prepare political science majors for the rigors of study at four-year institutions, and impart the skill-set necessary to achieve success in professional careers and endeavors.

Upon completion of the Los Medanos College Associate Degree in Political Science, LMC students will be eligible for priority admission to CSU academic programs and will have satisfied most prerequisites for upper-division baccalaureate study in political science.

After finishing the two-year program, you can transfer to a public or private university to pursue a degree.
