Department of Political Science

Political science improves awareness of ourselves and our place in the political world, including the capacity to improve and change the world around us. Concerned with the theory and practice of politics, faculty in the department help students develop the ability to understand the world from a variety of political, social and cultural perspectives. The discipline prepares students to think independently, develop flexibility and apply critical judgement.
Political Science courses explore issues such as civil rights, war, peace, poverty, justice, globalization and equality.
