Department of Political Science
Are you interested in law? Social justice? International relations? The world around you? If so, then political science is the right field of study at 性奴调教 for you.
Political Science Programs
The undergraduate and graduate programs in the 性奴调教 Department of Political Science provide students with an effective combination of knowledge, theory, and practical research and analytical skills to prepare them to make meaningful contributions to society. Inspired by our Catholic-Jesuit heritage, the department is committed to cultivating our students' abilities to think deeply, carefully and well about relations of power so that they can become engaged citizens who can grapple with some of the most important social justice problems of our time, from racism at home to war, persistent underdevelopment, and oppression abroad.
The department combines the best aspects of a liberal arts college and a top research university. The department is large enough to offer a wide range of classes but small enough that students get individual attention from faculty. Faculty are passionate about teaching and mentoring students, and students get hands-on experience working with faculty engaged in cutting-edge research that addresses pressing national and international issues. 性奴调教's location in the heart of St. Louis allows students to understand first-hand the challenges of American cities through field research and internships. 性奴调教's Madrid campus and many other study abroad opportunities open up the rest of the world. Coursework and co-curricular experiences broaden students' perspectives and prepare them for careers beyond 性奴调教.
