The Department of Government makes use of the opportunities available from its location in the nation’s capital for the teaching and study of political science and public affairs.
The department’s undergraduate program focuses on government and public affairs as an aspect of a broad liberal arts education. It prepares the student for an enlightened role in national, community, and world affairs. This program can lead to a career in public affairs or any private or not-for-profit area that deals with the growing interrelationship between the public and private sectors. It also provides a solid and comprehensive foundation for the student who plans to pursue further education before entering a career in politics or public affairs, governmental administration, law, teaching, or research.
The graduate program is designed to prepare students for academic or professional careers in public affairs or policy analysis. The Political Science (MA) and Political Science (PhD) programs are flexible in order to meet the educational needs of a diverse student population.
