DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE AND PHILOSOPHY I. Ralph Telford, Chairman Professors, Alten B. Davis, Lawrence C. Evans, Jennings G. Olson, T. Ramakrishna Reddy, Jean B. White; Associate Professors, Jocelyn C. Glidden, Roydon O. Julander; Assistant Professor, I. Ralph Telford. The Department offers a major and minor in Political Science and a minor in Philosophy. Social Sciences — Political Science POLITICAL SCIENCE Description: Political Science is concerned with the interplay of power and interests in local, national, and international communities and the resulting formulation and execution of public policy. On the basis of empirical theory and political philosophy, political science analyses in particular governments, parties and pressure groups, law and public administration. It investigates foreign political systems and international relations in addition to emphasizing the American political systems at all levels. Education: Political Science has a triple personality. It provides liberal arts education, furnishing a solid background for postgraduate study in law and business administration. It trains students for future research and teaching within the discipline. It prepare students for careers outside academic institutions in public service. Students may take advantage of the many unique intern programs available. These include legislative interns, city and county government interns, and law interns. There is also available a program wherein students work as assistants to congressmen in Washington, D.C. Competition for these internships is keen, but the rewards are outstanding. Employment Outlook: Most Political Science majors do professional or graduate level study in either law, business, or public administration. However, a great many obtain civil service jobs, and a number of students take courses which will prepare them to teach in secondary schools. Salaries for civil service employees begin at around $10,000 per year, and secondary teaching varies from $9,300 to $9,900. Graduates have been very successful in finding the employment they desire or acceptance to graduate school. Related Careers: A very flexible Political Science program has evolved providing a liberal arts education as preparation for law or business, a secondary education major, preparation for a public service career, and preparation for a career in environmental affairs. Program: Political Science Major and Political Science Teaching Major—Bachelor Degree I. General Requirements: A. Specific requirements of the college (see index). B. Bachelor Degree General Education requirements (see index). C. A minor is required. D. Political Science majors must have a C or better in major courses. E. Political Science majors must have an overall G. P. A. of 2.00 or C; Political Science Teaching majors must achieve an overall 2.25 G. P. A. F. 183 total hours are required for this degree. G. Sixty of the 183 total hours must be upper division (courses numbered 300 and above). H. Students majoring or minoring in Political Science or Philosophy who transfer from another institution and who intend to graduate from Weber State College will be required to take, in the case of the minor, at least one class, and in the case of the major, at least two classes at Weber State College. These classes must be taken during the four quarters immediately preceding graduation. I.
