Political Science is the systematic study of politics. In its broadest sense, politics includes the decision‑making and decision‑enforcing processes concerned with the use of valued resources for any group that makes and enforces rules for its members. In this department the emphasis is upon the parts of these processes involving the government.

The Department of Political Science seeks to follow the aims of the liberal arts tradition. It also seeks to provide political science and public administration students with an educational background that will prepare them for a wide range of career opportunities from the fields of Law, Government Foreign Service, Public Administration, Journalism, “Practical Politics,” and Teaching.

The Department also offers the Master of Public Administration (M.P.A.) degree with concentrations in Public Management, Criminal Justice, Emergency Management, and Health Administration. For complete information about programs and courses, see the Graduate School section of the catalog.
