Political decisions are being made every day that affect our lives in many ways. Will the legislature cut (or increase) taxes? Will the president send troops to some foreign conflict? How will the courts interpret our most basic freedoms?
The Department of Political Science provides students with a full understanding of the peculiar mix of greed, self-interest, calculation, nobility, and self-sacrifice that is politics. In the process, students learn to analyze individual and group motivation and behavior, think through working systems and institutions, and conduct research into how systems and institutions work. These skills apply to any job setting and are essential to modern management.
