| Political Science at Rose-Hulman:
Politics focuses on the enduring questions of how to organize our
institutions and societies so as to achieve the goals of justice,
security, and material well-being. From high-stakes diplomacy between
great powers to struggles over school funding, political interactions
abound at all levels. Political science is, in the broadest sense, the
study of governments and governing procedures. As such the discipline
covers a wide range of topics, with the major subfields being American
government, international relations, comparative politics, and political
philosophy. Courses in all of these areas are offered here at
Rose-Hulman. The study of political science is useful not only for helping to better understand the world in which you live, but also by developing critical thinking skills through analyzing complex social interactions. Political science classes count toward the general Humanities and Social Sciences requirements. Those interested in more extensive study can receive an area minor in political science. Consult the RHIT Undergraduate Bulletin or see below for the requirements. Political science offerings are listed in the schedule of classes under the HSS Department’s thematic categories (Global Studies [GL], Self and Society [SL], Rhetoric and Expression [RH], and Values and Contemporary Issues [VA]). ALL POLITICAL SCIENCE CLASSES HAVE A “6” AS THE MIDDLE DIGIT IN THE COURSE NUMBER. For a quick primer on the subject, see Randy Newman's "Political Science" (from YouTube) |
