The Department of Government and Politics offers two undergraduate curriculum options.The first is the general GVPT curriculum without a concentration, which allows students to explore a variety of topics in the political science field, including American Politics, Comparative Politics, International Relations, Political Theory, and Public Law and Administration.The second curriculum option is a formal concentration in International Relations. This would allow students to focus the majority of their coursework on topics related to International Relations and Comparative Politics. Our undergraduate program is designed to provide students with the substantive knowledge, the analytical skills, and the professional experience necessary to go into the world and address organizational and societal problems at the local, national, and international levels. We consistently foster a multi-disciplinary approach to problem-solving, and our majors often double major (or minor) in other departments in BSOS and across the campus. Our commitment to interdisciplinary study and problem-solving extends to support for the largest undergraduate minor in BSOS (the Minor in International Development and Conflict Management) and one of the largest concentrations in the Environmental Science and Policy (ENSP) major. We offer an increasing number of courses focused on methodological skills, and we have an array of internship and undergraduate research programs, including the fast-growing Maryland Internship Program.
