| 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
dealing with 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) |
