We use several computer statistical programs to create competence in serious analysis. We create the opportunity to learn political skills in internships. That path can be in the public, private, or non-profit sector. We do not want students graduating and not knowing what they want to do. Students select a minimum of 24 units of courses.
Students can select widely or concentrate in a particular area of interest.
Students spend one semester in Washington, D.C. or the United Nations or a national capital overseas. They experience the realities and excitement of politics and government, meet new friends from other universities, and get a first-hand view of career opportunities. We have a great curriculum. It includes the basic elements of the field, like American Government, the Presidency, the Congress, and others. We also include modern courses like Women in Politics, Human Rights, Political Behavior, and Global Governance.
