Political Science
Politics is the study of who gets what, when, and how –through government or other instruments of power. Power can be exercised by individuals, interest groups, parties, nation-states, or international organizations. Political science examines the theory and practice of politics by focusing on political behavior and values. Courses focus on the workings of government, elections and political parties, the formation of public policy, the judicial system, and the impact of interest groups. Classes on international relations and comparative government focus on global power, while courses on state and local government explore government on a smaller scale.
