政治学文学士-政府

政治系为政府或外交专业的学生提供了高级专业课程（DMP）作为高级课程。该计划为合格的专业学生提供了对与专业相关的问题进行深入研究的机会。DMP的学生在该系毕业的那年（通常是四年级）要比其他专业多修一门高等课程，并在老师的密切监督下写论文。该计划的参与者在那一年中定期开会，讨论其论文的进展。
A Politics degree enables students to approach life after college with a critical eye, an analytic edge and sensitivity to the concerns of people all over the world. Our two majors stress the acquisition of analytical and critical thinking skills, we teach students to construct arguments of their own about our political world. We hope our courses and our faculty unsettle our students a bit, creating a habit of skepticism about received wisdom. Perhaps more important, we strive to help our students develop their own ideas, support them with evidence, and put them into words and numbers that will engage and persuade their peers, their co-workers and their fellow citizens. Students who major in the Politics Department follow many different paths after they graduate. Most of our students join the labor force upon graduation. Many students work in government itself, in public service, journalism, or in other closely related fields. An increasingly large percentage of students go on to graduate work, in one of the academic disciplines, or in policy, law or other professional schools around the country.
