The government and political science majors are very similar, but have some key differences. Political science is the study of power and its relationships, involving either domestic or international politics. The government major involves the study of administering a public bureaucracy, and is similar to the public administration major. A student studying government will likely learn about topics including government institutions, political theory, history, and international relations.
