Through our courses, students will learn about the many different "hats" a political scientist can wear. From political philosophy, gender and racial politics, law and government, international relations, and public policy - studying political science involves more than just politics. Political science courses help students become informed citizens while honing their critical thinking, research design, writing, and team-building skills.
