The Political Science program focuses on examining how power operates across various contexts and its wide-ranging effects. Students delve into key topics including the ethical dilemmas surrounding power dynamics, the evolution of fundamental political concepts like freedom, equity, society, and ethics, how historical, economic, and social factors shape political processes, the unique characteristics of the U.S. government structure, comparisons between different political systems worldwide, and the dynamics of international relations that influence conflict and cooperation. Political science classes at the undergraduate level range from large 325-person lectures to intimate 18-student seminars, all designed to develop critical reading skills and thoughtful written analysis.
