- 1653You can definitely major in Political Science and minor in Journalism. Journalism is actually out of the Communication Department and you can do Broadcasting or Print. Maybe you would like to intern for a television studio that handles political issues such as Campaigns, new legislation, supreme court cases, etc. Our location in downtown Boston provides ample opportunity to apply what you learn in the classroom to a real world experience. The Massachusetts State House is literally right next door to our buildings where many of our students will intern. The Political Science Major has a unique advantage with location and terrific faculty. Professors are accessible and bring current knowledge to the classroom. You will often see the Suffolk University Poll in the news, following campaign trends and voting habits. Small class size allows you the chance to work one on one with these experts. Both programs are tremendous at Suffolk. One of the many reasons students choose Suffolk is the amount of choice. You have the opportunity to major in two separate disciplines while having the chance to do an internship or go abroad. If you enjoy the city then Suffolk should be on your list.
