The Major
Political science is divided into four concentrations:
- U.S. politics examines the interactions among political
parties, interest groups, social movements, and government institutions
in the United States.
- Comparative politics provides students with a broader
view of their own society by putting their experience into the context
of how other societies have attempted to solve problems of governance,
justice, economic development and political stability.
- International relations is concerned with patterns of
conflict and cooperation among nation-states, international organizations,
and non-governmental actors such as banks and multinational corporations.
- Political theory questions the philosophical foundation
of our understanding of the political world and its implications
for justice and the common good.
The major at Wooster consists of nine required courses plus three courses
of Independent Study. Students declare their concentration when they declare
their major. They may design their own concentration with approval of
their adviser. |
