POLITICAL SCIENCE Description Political Science is concerned with the study of government and politics and focuses on who gets what, when, and how in local, state, national, and international political systems. The curriculum is designed to analyze the processes of policy formulation and implementation and to examine the concept of power in politics. A major and a minor are offered in Political Science to students attending Weber State. Education Political Science provides for a liberal arts education and furnishes a solid background for postgraduate study in political science, law, administration, business, and international relations. It imparts deeper understanding of political ideas, institutions and processes. Political Science, while enhancing knowledge about how governmental policies affect society, seeks to equip students with skills to influence the political process and to exercise rights and responsibilities. Internships Special projects and internship programs are offered to provide students practical understanding of political processes in governmental organizations. Many students have received practical training and gained valuable knowledge by working with United States Senators, members of Congress, and Utah State Senators and Representatives. Moreover some students work as interns in the Ogden City and Weber County administrations and in the Utah Legal Services office in Ogden. Student Services Interdisc.
