BA Politics & Government

In the Politics & Government program, you'll be exposed to different and often conflicting points of view on a variety of important political ideas (e.g., democracy, freedom, equality, development and power). You'll study how different individuals have looked at these ideas, as well as how such ideas have been practiced in real institutions and political controversies. Through hands-on learning in the field--in mock trials and Model UN competitions--you'll develop the tools necessary for effective citizenship and cultivate critical reasoning. The dynamic experience of the program will make you question your assumptions about the world and your place in it and give you the ability to influence issues that matter to you.
