政府文学学士

政府部-就像政治学一样-涵盖了广泛的政治主题和研究方法。它站在历史，法律，经济学，社会学，哲学和伦理学的十字路口，它们从这些学科中借鉴并构建了自己的理论和方法。像我们的教师一样，选择专攻政府的学生也受到许多启发。有些人对当代美国政治充满热情，有些人对解释，衡量或预测政治结果的模型着迷，有些人对古希腊人的公民哲学感兴趣，有些人对当代全球公民的道德挑战感兴趣，有些人对政治感兴趣。在世界特定地区的文化中，有些人希望掌握种族与内战，人权与新兴民主之间更普遍的相互关系。政府选民已经采取了一系列由共同主题联系起来的课
The Department of Government-like political science-is an umbrella for a remarkable range of political subjects and approaches to studying them. It stands at the cross-roads of history, law, economics, sociology, philosophy, and ethics, borrowing from these disciplines as well as constructing theories and methods of its own. Like our faculty, students who choose to concentrate in Government are inspired by many things. Some are passionate about contemporary American politics, some are fascinated by models that explain, measure, or predict political outcomes, some are interested in the civic philosophy of the ancient Greeks, some in the moral challenges of contemporary global citizenship, some focus on the political culture of a particular region of the world, some want to grasp the more general interrelationships of ethnicity and civil war, or human rights and emerging democracy. A very flexible concentration, Government allows students to explore and define their particular interests through the courses they choose to meet their requirements as concentrators or to fulfill the requirements of Government as a secondary field. With their Concentration Advisers, students should seek a coherent program of study that shows both a general familiarity with political science and an understanding of that field or combination of fields that captures their interests.
