Courses offered by the department introduce students<br />
to the study of government and politics, including<br />
an understanding of public affairs, different political<br />
systems, and political ideas. This program intends to<br />
educate citizens who can think critically about politics<br />
and its place in their lives and in society; to provide a<br />
general liberal arts education for students continuing on<br />
to a wide variety of careers, including public service; and<br />
to help prepare those students who choose to continue<br />
on to graduate school or law school.<br />
Through their course work, students also come to<br />
understand some of the ways in which political scientists<br />
study politics; and learn to express themselves cogently<br />
in writing and orally. The department seeks to achieve<br />
these goals through its instructional program: a master’s<br />
degree, three graduate certificates, a major, a minor, and<br />
the political science courses taken by students majoring<br />
in other disciplines as part of the general education<br />
requirement.<br />
Bachelor of Arts in Political<br />
Science<br />
(All courses are 3 credit hours, unless otherwise designated.)<br />
Course Requirements (30 cr.)<br />
POLS-Y 490 Senior Seminar in Political Science<br />
(required of all majors)<br />
No more than 9 credit hours of 100-level courses may<br />
be included in the 30 credit hours. Students must<br />
complete at least one course from three of the four<br />
sub-areas:<br />
• American government<br />
• Comparative or international politics<br />
• Political theory<br />
• Public administration<br />
Minor in Political Science<br />
(All courses are 3 credit hours, unless otherwise designated.)<br />
Students wishing to earn a minor in political science should<br />
consult with an advisor in the department. They must<br />
complete 15 credit hours in political science courses, of<br />
which no more than 6 credit hours may be at the 100-level.<br />
Generally, the department recommends that students<br />
complete at least one course from three of the four sub-areas:<br />
• American government<br />
• Comparative or international politics<br />
• Political theory<br />
• Public administration<br />
CERTIFICATE IN PARALEGAL STUDIES<br />
(All courses are 3 credit hours, unless otherwise designated)<br />
The certificate is a part-time 21 credit hour evening<br />
classroom-based program allowing those currently<br />
working to obtain certification to advance their career.<br />
Paralegals improve the efficiency, speed, economy, and<br />
availability of legal services, thus meeting the need for<br />
more cost effective legal services. Typical work activities<br />
include preparing materials for closings, hearings, trials,<br />
and corporate meetings. They also draft contracts,<br />
investigate the facts of cases, organize and track legal<br />
files, and are involved in the preparation of tax returns<br />
and maintenance of financial office records. Paralegals<br />
are typically employed by law firms or governmental<br />
agencies; however paralegals may also be employed<br />
by corporations, insurance companies, hospitals, title<br />
companies and community legal service agencies.
