If Aristotle is correct when he observes that the end of politics is the good for man, then we may appropriately conclude that the study of politics—no less than a complete liberal arts education—aims at a comprehensive understanding of man and human communities. The following requirements for students in political science include five major categories which subdivide the discipline and help to articulate its many facets.
- Introductory-Level Political Science
- Political Philosophy
- American Government and Politics
- Comparative Politics and International Relations
- Constitutional Law, Public Administration and Policy
