Political Science Department

Introduction of Department

Political science studies the ways in which domestic governments and international relations address fundamental issues of power, justice, liberty, and order. The department teaches not only the mechanics and strategies of the political process, but also examines limitations on government authority, and responsibilities of citizens.This is examined through a broad curriculum surveying major domestic governmental functions (legislative, executive and judicial) as well as comparative analysis across countries and international relations. The department recently began to offer a B.S. degree in Political Science.
