This program examines how public policies are created, executed, and assessed at various government levels. The Political Science Department provides a broad liberal arts education, allowing students to pursue either a major or minor for their bachelor's degree. Designed as a comprehensive rather than specialized program, it covers fundamental aspects of government, political systems, and state affairs through diverse subfields like political philosophy, global relations, comparative government, legal studies, research techniques, policy analysis, and U.S. politics. Political Science courses equip students with both profound insights into governance structures, policy development, and global affairs, as well as crucial analytical abilities for career advancement - including critical thinking, comprehensive research capabilities, and strong communication skills.
