The Affirmative Action Chair is mandatory for all Young Democrats groups and ensures that the club is reaching out to all students. The Young Democrats are very interested in being involved with the new College Republicans and challenge them to debate over any current election. At the height of this election year, politics is in the forefront of almost everyone's mind. There are, however, a group of students right here on the Randolph-Macon College campus that have decided to put politics in the forefront of their minds at all times. These students are the R-MC political science majors.
Political science is the study of governments and governmental procedures.
Political scientists study such things as the origins and preconditions for government and the growth, evolution and decline of governments. Political science is a valuable field even for those who do not plan to have a professional interest in it. Police officers, teachers and military personnel all have a stake in how the government operates and therefore should be informed about it. Political science also serves to teach students analytical skills and to increase oral and written communication skills that will be useful to students no matter what their career choice. Students with undergraduate political science degrees have entered jobs in business, law, teaching, and journalism as well as governmental jobs.
