Political Science/social Studies

Political science is one of the oldest fields of academic inquiry. social ideals and their realization through law were systematically studied in ancient greece. in an increasingly interdependent world, the study of politics and government has flourished as the relations between persons, groups and nations have become more complex, and questions of freedom and authority have challenged every citizen. modern political science is equally concerned with questions of political philosophy and with the pursuit of social scientific research. these concerns are reflected in a broad and diverse curriculum. the political science faculty are committed to the belief that understanding politics and government is essential to a well-educated person, vital to democratic citizenship, indispensable to effective public service, and critical to the maintenance and ethical progress of a free society.
