Courses offered within the Department of Government and Politics
are designed to provide students with the analytical skills
necessary to evaluate political issues and to function effectively
in a political environment. The Department's specific objectives
include preparing students for careers in the civil or foreign
service, for positions of political or administrative
responsibility in the public or private sectors, for careers in the
field of education, or for further study as graduate or law
students.
The Department's
graduate curriculum meets these objectives, offering a variety
of courses divided into four subfields:
- American Government
- International Relations and Comparative Politics
- Political Theory
- Public Administration and Public Service
The curriculum includes research methods and quantitative
analysis courses. In addition, undergraduate senior seminars
(required of all our majors) involve students in semester-long
research projects
