Florida State University is introducing a new Civics and Liberty Studies degree. The program combines constitutional law and public policy with data analysis to build citizen leaders.

WATCH FULL REPORT BELOW:

For some students, the program at FSU offers a new way to connect big ideas with real-world impact.

Maegan Smarkusky, a junior political science major at Florida State, says the program has already made an impact.

“This program has changed, the Institute for Governance and Civics has changed my career trajectory,” Smarkusky said.

“I’m thrilled to see this program at FSU. If I had this when I came in as a freshman, I would certainly be doing this major. I know there are going to be students who want to pursue constitutional law. I want to learn more about founding principles and what it means to be a citizen in the United States,” Smarkusky said.
