POLITICAL SCIENCE Political Science is a science which focuses on the study of politics, government, governmental systems, and the making of public policy. The Political Science major is offered as a means to a liberal education, particularly as the term implies preparation of the citizen for the exercise of his political responsibilities. The major is also helpful as preparation for post-graduate study in professional schools of law, journalism, international relations, and public administration—among others—as well as for postgraduate work leading to careers in research and teaching. The Political Science course offerings are also designed to provide adequate programs to prepare teachers for elementary and secondary schools.
