The Political Science Department administers the two degrees of
political science (BA), and public administration (BPA), and also the
Certificate of Non-Profit Management (see also the Department of Human
Services), and Geography courses
The Department of Political Science offers
the Bachelor's in Political Science (B.A.) which seeks to prepare well-rounded
students who understand politics and policies and pre-law in the United States,
in nations and politics around the world, and international affairs. The BA in
Political Sciences is for those who plan to go on to graduate or professional
school or public employment. The Department also offers three majors in the
Bachelor of Public Administration degree:
1. Public & Non-Profit
Management, 2. Environment & Natural Resources Management, and 3. Economic
& Community Development. We also offer the Certificate of Non-Profit
Management. These public administration programs are for those most interested
in public sector employment in governments and non-profit agencies.
The
BPA degree in Public and Non-Profit Management, and the Certificate of
Non-Profit Management (which is available to any major or working person) are
among the first programs of their kind in the nation, to train individuals in
the fast-growing field of the Management of Non-Profit Agencies, as well as
traditional Government employment.
