The Politics Department has a commitment to teach a Global curriculum. We offer a large selection of courses (first-year lectures to senior seminars) that have an international/global orientation.
The B.A. with a Concentration in International Studies allows students to dive deeper into global issues, drawing from courses in the areas of Comparative Politics, International Politics and other subfields in order to develop global awareness, critical thinking skills, and to acquire tools to understand change.
We also encourage in students a critical self-consciousness about ethical positions vis-à-vis political and civic life. Our faculty take a research-informed, inclusive and student-centered approach to teaching and learning.
