Department faculty today uphold a tradition, more than a century old, of distinction in scholarship and teaching. Each tenured or tenure-track Government Department faculty member is affiliated with a concentration representing one of the four major subfields of political science: American politics and public policy, comparative politics, international politics, and political theory. 

We offer introductory courses to each of these four concentrations (American Government; international Government; Comparative Governance; and Theory Governance), a range of upper-level courses, and specialized research seminars (369-399). In addition, we offer courses in research methodology, individual and group tutorials, and tutoring of senior honors theses. Courses numbered201-368 are ordered according to field of study, not level of difficulty.
