What sort of political (or other) biases are typical for political science students? One thing that's given me some amusement in college is the self-selection that goes on. Some sort of sifting goes on, and the people that gravitate toward particular fields tend to have more in common than just choice of occupation. At my institution, there's a playful rivalry between the technical majors who are by far the majority and the business majors, who make up for their small numbers. The differences are real, but hyped up to levels suiting practical jokes.

Politically, there's an extremely pronounced libertarian tendency among engineers and computer science folk. I have no idea why that might be the case. Really, what is the likelihood that in the general population, a randomly selected group of 16 people would contain three anarchists and three other libertarians? That's my dorm floor. A friend pointed out to me on his ballot that all but one Libertarian candidate worked in some aspect of the computer industry.

All of the history majors that I've known have been unusually conservative. This fit seems more natural--I'd speculate that people who are all-around more traditional are more likely to enjoy studying history.

I haven't noticed any political trend among business majors here, but there might be one regardless. Again, this fits with stereotypes that peg business people as being more practical than ideological.
