BA in Politics and Government

4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

University of Hartford

Program Overview

The undergraduate major in politics and government is the study of policy, government, and law. Its object is understanding of the processes by which power, authority, influence, control, freedom, wealth, and other political resources are competitively pursued, captured, and distributed; the conversion of these political resources into public policies; the institutionalization of these policies into government; and the authoritative statement, administration, and enforcement of policies by government as law. The balance struck by any political system, between the distribution of sacrifices or costs it exacts and its distribution of benefits, affords a basis for evaluating the legitimacy or justice of its policies.
