Political Science
The Department of Political Science aims to provide students with an understanding of the important political questions that surround issues of power. We help students in the major become familiar with a range of theoretical perspectives and epistemological methods, develop the ability to analyze data critically and deconstruct texts, to conduct independent academic research, and to write clearly about significant political trends and events.
