Politics Courses in the Liberal Arts Core
The politics program has an exciting and diverse roster of courses that meet University and Liberal Arts Core requirements. Even students who do not have space in their schedules to minor in Politics, but are interested in some aspect of it, can meet some of their graduation requirements by studying some combination of law and justice, the dynamics of elections and the workings of the U.S. Congress and Presidency, the causes of international conflict and cooperation, and the workings of governments and social movements around the world.
The courses listed below meet various University and Liberal Arts Core requirements. See the liberal arts core and politics course descriptions for more details.
