• The Department of Political Science offers a balanced program, emphasizing the integration of theory and practice rather than any single approach or methodology. 
  • Course work in political science provides the opportunity to understand and compare major political institutions, public policies, and the relationships among them as they operate in different national and international contexts.
  •  Students will learn to explain the factors influencing individual-level political attitudes and behavior, and use and evaluate statistical and other types of evidence in analyses and arguments.
