The Political Science Department emphasizes connecting theoretical concepts to real-world political scenarios, addressing philosophical issues of power, justice, and freedom, along with practical concerns like policy-making and public problem-solving. Students are offered courses in American Politics, Comparative Politics, International Relations, and Political Theory, supplemented with opportunities such as guest lectures, research programs, community service projects, field trips and internships at local, national, and international levels.
