The mission of
the
Department of Political Science is to provide information about and analysis of the political world. In our research we
craft theory and gather data to understand policy choices and political conflicts. In our teaching we address a
wide array of political institutions and processes. Through community engagement we share our understanding beyond the classroom and academic world.
Information
About Political Science CoursesPolitical Science
courses are designed both for majors and
non-majors. Although we believe the three
introductory courses (POSC 109, POSC 260,
and POSC 272) are useful in other courses,
and should be completed by all majors so
their education in the field will be
well-rounded, there are no prerequisites. We
seek to make all our courses academically
rigorous, but students who are interested in
politics should be able to take our
300-level courses even if they have not
taken other courses in the field. If a
faculty member feels her course is an
exception, she will make that clear.
