The Department of Political Science provides students with the information and the intellectual stimulus needed to cope with the problems of modern politics.

A concrete orientation toward specific careers is provided by a program of coursework that prepares students for law school as well as careers in politics, public and foreign service, teaching, journalism, and business. Individual courses focus on urban, state, national, and international government-the executive, judicial, and legislative branches; the politics of Europe, Africa, Mideast, and East Asia; and the theoretical presuppositions underlying political differences within and between nations.
