the department of politics
The politics major is designed to provide a systematic understanding of political power, political processes, and political institutions, both in the United States and the world at large. Politics majors gain insight into public affairs; improve their conceptual, analytical, critical and communication skills; and explore normative questions concerning the relation of individuals to governments and of governments to one another . The curriculum offers courses in 5 fields: American government, political theory, international relations, public administration, and comparative politics. The department advises students to divide their work among the 5 fields, although a concentrated major may be advised in a particular case. The department also recommends substantial coursework in related disciplines such as economics, history, or philosophy.
