The Political Science Program

The Political Science Program offers students an opportunity to discuss and debate current domestic and international issues. In addition, students systematically examine political problems, ideologies, government institutions, and political economy. The major is divided into two broad areas of study: U.S. politics and law, and comparative politics and international relations. These areas are augmented by courses in political theory and research methods. Successful completion of the program provides students with the skills necessary for graduate school, law school, or other professional work in government or policy analysis.
