The Political Science and International Relations 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,\u00a0the 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.<\/p>\n

The courses listed below meet various University and Liberal Arts Core requirements. See the\u00a0liberal arts core<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0politics course descriptions<\/a>\u00a0for more details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
