The program aims to provide students with the tools and skills they need to link theory with current problems and to produce well-rounded learners with strong research and writing skills. Students study how citizens interact with their governments and how governments at all levels formulate policies to serve, or not serve, their citizens. They explore innovative approaches to today's emerging political challenges, such as those seen in elections and lobbying, and the international issues of terrorism, diplomacy and empowerment.
