Department of Political Science

The study of political science is mainly the study of governments: their social and economic environments, how they are organized, how and why they decide upon and carry out policies, and how nation-states interact on the world scene. The discipline also includes the study of political ideas and values, past and present, citizen behavior, and recent trends in methods of research and analysis aimed at enlarging our knowledge of political processes. In this sense, the Department of Political Science provides students with the perspective and background necessary to understand the complex and often confusing reality of politics.
