The Political Science program seeks to instill in its students a lively interest in politics. We offer a comprehensive program that reflects the broad discipline of political science covering major subfields of study: American Government and Politics; Political Ideology and Theory; Quantitative Skills and Scientific Methods; and International Relations and Comparative Politics. Our goals are to make students think analytically and critically, develop an understanding of national and international structures, ideas, diversity and the quickening pace of globalization.
