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