The political science
department equips students to understand political life, to be
effective citizens, and to achieve positions of political leadership.
The Department makes the following mission commitments:
-
We
prepare students for successful careers or graduate study in
government, public policy, law, business, the not-for-profit sector, and related fields.
-
We
expand and strengthen critical thinking, research, and communication
skills of students.
-
We
examine politics through innovative teaching, experiential learning,
and student/faculty collaboration across the main fields of
political science so students can achieve political literacy
appropriate for citizenship responsibilities.
-
We help
our students discover and learn the concepts and theories of our
discipline so they can integrate new facts into their own
worldviews.
-
We
encourage students to adopt the habit of the examined life, to
reflect upon themselves in relationship to others, to take risks, to
participate actively in political life and to accept responsibility
for their actions.
-
We
encourage our students to participate and accept leadership in a
variety of special programs, clubs and activities both on and off
campus.
-
Finally,
we invite students to embrace the Benedictine traditions of service,
stewardship, and community.
