政治学处理我们如何达成决定共同命运的集体决策。政治学家研究诸如权力和影响力的行使，冲突的根源和解决，政治与经济，文化和社会其他方面的关系，公共政策的采用和实施以及政治制度的发展等主题。从本地社区到全球社区，都在各个级别研究这些主题。本科预科学位课程包括四个子领域：美国政治，比较政治，国际关系和政治理论。罗斯福大学位于美国最活跃的大都市之一，地理位置优越，是学习政治学的理想之地。政府是该地区最大的雇主，芝加哥是众多政治机构，社会行动团体和政治顾问的所在地。
Political science deals with how we reach the collective decisions that shape our common fate. Political scientists study topics such as the exercise of power and influence, sources and resolution of conflicts, the relationship of politics to the economy, culture, and other aspects of society, the adoption and implementation of public policies, and the development of political systems. These topics are studied at all levels, from local communities to the global community. The undergraduate pre-law degree curriculum is made up of 4 sub-fields: US politics, comparative politics, international relations, and political theory. Roosevelt University is ideally located for studying political science, as it is in one of the USA's most dynamic metropolitan areas. Government is the area's largest employer and Chicago is home to a large number of political offices, social action groups, and political consultants.
