The political spectrum
Politics is a social science and can be studied and understood in the same way as anthropology or economics.
Left or right? Centrist or radical? Conservative or libertarian?
These are terms you’ll be introduced to in our courses as you’re led through an objective analysis of how the political system works in the U.S., as well as in a few other countries.
Draw your own conclusions
Our faculty are political scientists who have spent their careers studying the workings of politics.
They’ll share their insight with you and encourage you to draw your own conclusions.
You’ll learn about:
- Local and state government
- Policymaking processes
- Metropolitan and suburban politics
- Media influence
- International relations
- And much more!
