What are the best affordable colleges for political science?

I'm planning to major in political science but can't break the bank. I'm looking for good colleges that offer affordable political science programs. Any recommendations?

There are several colleges that offer strong political science programs and are also known for their affordability. Here are a few that you might want to consider:

1. University of Florida: UF has a well-regarded political science program and, as a public university, offers affordable tuition, especially for in-state students.

2. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill: Known for its robust social sciences departments, including political science, UNC-CH could be an excellent choice. The in-state tuition here is reasonable, and even out-of-state tuition is quite competitive compared to many private institutions.

3. University of California - Irvine: UCI has a strong reputation in political science and is a part of the affordable University of California system.

4. City University of New York - Hunter College: If you're interested in a more urban setting, Hunter College offers both an affordable tuition and a political science program that benefits from its location in New York City.

5. University of Wisconsin-Madison: This university's political science program is highly ranked and they are known for their commitment to keeping education affordable.

These are just a few examples. When assessing the affordability of a college, don't forget to take into account the financial aid that a college offers. Some private colleges offer substantial financial aid that can significantly decrease the cost of attendance.

You can also use tools like the CollegeVine's chancing engine to match your academic and extracurricular portfolio to schools, it also assesses financial affordability based on your family's financial situation. This might help you find more colleges that align with your academic and financial needs.
