Political Science examines the nature of politics from diverse perspectives. The requirements for majors in the department teach students to think critically about the fundamental theories, principles, institutions, and practices of politics in their social and historical contexts. Course work in the department is required in four main subfields of the discipline of political science -- American Politics, International Relations, Comparative Politics, and Political Theory -- so that students will acquire knowledge and skills for further study in law school or graduate school, or will be prepared for careers in public service or related fields.
