  • Government

    Study of the American political system, political systems in other countries, international relations, and political concepts and ideas is in keeping with liberal arts traditions emphasizing broad learning in basic academic fields instead of specialized, vocational education. It is important to foster an appreciation of our cultural, intellectual, and political heritage.
