Political Science

About Department

Political Science was introduced in the College as a course of study almost at its inception in 1959 because it adds value to women’s education in several different ways. First, it contributes to a solid liberal arts education and prepares them for citizenship a very important objective of this college. Twenty centuries later, it is the responsibility of all citizens to learn something about the political system in which they will spend their lives. Educated people ought to know something of the nature of government even if they have no professional interest in political science. Second, a degree in political science furnishes an excellent background for graduate study in political science, law, administration, business, and international relations.

Political science helps students develop reasoning and analytical skills and build competence in oral and written expression. In addition, the department of political science requires students to acquire basic skills in statistical analysis and computer competency. Third, there are some careers for which an extensive training in political science can be most useful. This is true especially for those planning to seek careers in higher education, the legal profession, state and local government, urban planning, the federal bureaucracy, journalism, the military, law enforcement, teaching, the civil service, or in any of the proliferating organizations that seek to monitor the political process to influence the content of public policy. Further, the training students receive in political science will be useful to students no matter what their ultimate career choices.

Political Science- in the broadest sense, is the study of politics, particularly as it relates to governments and people.
