General Info

The Department of Political Science aims to provide an education, both general and major, which maximizes students’ capacity to analyze and interpret political events and governmental processes and to understand the significance of these political phenomena in the world and in their lives. To help them develop such capabilities we use methods ranging from statistically analyzing quantifiable data to comparing institutions or systems historically to reflecting on influential texts. We strive to instill in students a desire and ability to shape events in communities states, the church, and the world.
