The Major Program<br />
Political science is the study of politics and political<br />
systems at the local, national, and international levels.<br />
It concerns not only the institutions of government<br />
but also the analysis of such phenomena as political<br />
behavior, political values, political change and stability,<br />
parties, pressure groups, bureaucracies,<br />
administrative behavior, justice, national security,<br />
and international affairs.<br />
