This degree is taught by ASU’s College of Integrative Sciences and Arts, so you'll enjoy an approach to teaching, learning and discovery that brings many fields of knowledge together to form ideas and solutions. At the same time, you'll have the flexibility to focus on what you love most. The Bachelor of Science program in civic and economic thought and leadership incorporates the study of political philosophy, economic thought, history, and foundational texts in ideas in American politics and provides a foundation in social and political research and statistics. Faculty teach using the Socratic method, which challenges students to analyze the complex topics that impact lives today. Students refine their ability to read closely, think analytically, write carefully and speak effectively. Students have internship opportunities on Capitol Hill, in congressional offices in their district, and with nonprofit organizations. These opportunities enable students to build their resumes with professional experience and network with potential future employers. Global intensive experiences allow students to study in places such as Romania and India. Students also engage with world-renowned scholars through the school's public programs.
