毕业后, political science majors are employed in almost every part of the public and private sectors. Some graduates go to law school or accept positions with government at the federal, 状态, or local level -- the traditional goal of political science majors -- but many go into 业务, 艺术, 公共关系, 中学教学, 活动咨询, 城市及区域规划, 或新闻. Others pursue any of the other careers common to liberal arts majors. And some political science majors have gone on to quite lucrative careers, as the 纽约时报 报告了. Studies on employer preferences show that the writing and research skills and creative thinking abilities offered by a political science degree can be quite valuable in the contemporary job market.
政治科学 majors from 加州大学洛杉矶分校 are regularly admitted to national and regional law schools. Admits over the last few years include Boston College, 查普曼大学, 哥伦比亚大学, 德保罗大学, 洛约拉, 纽约大学, 佩珀代因, 西南, 拉凡恩大学, 加州大学戴维斯分校, 加州大学黑斯廷斯分校法学院, 芝加哥大学, 耶鲁大学, 圣地亚哥大学, and the University of Santa Clara. Our students have been accepted for graduate training at a wide range of institutions, including Arizona State University, 布朗大学, 克莱蒙特研究生院, 埃默里大学, 普林斯顿大学, 佛罗里达州立大学, 乔治华盛顿大学, 伦敦经济学院, 新学院(纽约), 夏威夷大学, 加州大学圣巴巴拉分校, 加州大学河滨分校, the University of Southern California, and the University of Texas at Austin.
State LA graduates have occupied 重要的职位 in the public sector at the federal, 状态, and local levels. At least eight graduates of 加州大学洛杉矶分校 have served as members of the United States House of Representatives.
