What is the government program?
Government courses provide students with an insight into the eight subfields of political science: foreign policy, methodology, political stability, public administration, international law, political theory, public policy, and governing institutions. A degree in political science can lead to a career in government, law, teaching or provide the foundation to aspire to elective office.
