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 />
