INTRODUCTION POLITICAL SCIENCE The Political Science program is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills they need to become active, useful citizens in modern democratic polities. For students who concentrate in Political Science or who take only occasional courses, this means that the Political Science program develops capacity to understand political organizations and political processes, to analyze the forces affecting political decisions, and to form judgments about obligations and rights as a citizen. It also means that the Political Science program will provide the skills necessary to begin a career in business, public service, consulting, or journalism, or to continue education in graduate studies or law school. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Students majoring in Political Science at LaGrange College will acquire basic knowledge of these areas: the values, processes, and institutions that affect collective decision-making and contemporary politics in the United States; the comparative analysis of the values, processes, and institutions that affect collective decision-making and contemporary politics in other countries; the relations between and among states, especially those affecting international conflict and international cooperation; the ethical dimensions of public policy issues, political practices, and constitutional and legal questions. Students majoring in Political Science at LaGrange College will also acquire the basic skills necessary to comprehend and perform modern political analysis. These include: the ability to analyze the foundations of and differences between normative, quantitative, and qualitative inquiry; knowledge of the basic elements of research design and methods in quantitative and qualitative studies of politics; knowledge of basic data management and analysis and of the use of computers in quantitative and qualitative studies of politics; the ability to convey findings in both written and oral presentations. ASSESSMENT OF LEARNING OBJECTIVES Assessment of the objectives of the program in Political Science is based on demonstration of mastery of the skills the program requires students to acquire. This demonstration is linked to an assessment by the faculty of student performance in completing a research project for POLS 4430: Senior Seminar in Political Science or in completing a research project associated with their internship during a full semester term in the Capital Hill Internship Program. Evaluation of the projects is determined by instruments ranking students according to their proficiency in each required skill. In special circumstances, these requirements may be waived or altered by permission of the faculty of the program. 216

REQUIREMENTS FOR A MAJOR IN POLITICAL SCIENCE Required sequence for the major program in Political Science (POLS): Fifteen (15) semester hours, consisting of POLS 1101 U.S. Government OR POLS 1102 Introduction to Political Science POLS 2210 Comparative Politics POLS 2220 International Relations POLS 3300 Research Methods in Political Science POLS 4430 Senior Seminar in Political Science Students majoring in Political Science must also complete an additional 18 semester hours of elective courses chosen from among the three- and four-thousand-level courses listed for the program in this Bulletin (for a total of 33 semester hours).
