The study plan is designed to give students the tools needed to analyze political and social phenomena, and to generate strategic recommendations that solve social problems. The plan has a multidisciplinary vision that includes philosophy, statistics, history, economics, computer science, game theory, and comparative methods. It guarantees a complete and integral education.

There is an opportunity for students to study two bachelors at the same time and obtain two degrees from ITAM while only studying for a few extra semesters. There is also an opportunity, for specific programs, to do the bachelors and a master’s degree abroad in only four years.

ITAM's Political Science students consist of diverse origins and upbringings, united by their desire to make society a better place. The diversity of our student body is one of our strengths, creating interesting dialogues and discussions that enrich learning, and our social and political vision.

The professors have doctorates from the best universities in the world, and most of them are a part of Mexico's System of Nacional Researchers (SNI). They are continuously expanding their knowledge through research and cooperation with international organizations and institutions. The students can add their efforts to these research projects, cooperating with professors.

Our students are scouted by private companies, social organizations, and the public sector at federal, state, and municipal levels thanks to their capacity for analysis, and their dedication. Approximately 50% of our graduates work outside the public sector. Our ex-students are a strong source of advice and employment.

Our graduates are in positions where they have the ability to make decisions that affect people´s lives. What unites all of us in the Department of Political Science is the belief that we can create a better, more inclusive, and just society.

The department is consistently offering top-rate academic activities with local and foreign researchers, organizing research seminars, conferences, book presentations, workshops, debates, and assemblies.
