课程简介
Political science is the analytical study of governments, political processes, and public policy. A political science degree is an excellent option for students interested in public and nonprofit sector careers, law, private sector, NGOs, and international organizations. Majors in political science benefit from the proximity of the NCSU campus to the state General Assembly, executive offices, government agencies, party headquarters, political consulting firms, political and public policy think tanks, and advocacy organizations. Students interested in science, technology, engineering or mathematics may pursue the B.S. option. Students pursuing the B.A. degree can add a concentration in one of four subfields: American Politics Concentration: American politics courses relate to the study of citizenship and representation, public opinion and political behavior, group dynamics, campaigns and pluralism, and political institutions and the policy process in the Unites States. International Politics Concentration: This option encompasses courses related to the study of global issues, national security, international political economy, international law, United States foreign policy, and comparative political systems. Law & Justice Concentration: Study the interplay of law and politics in the United States, in the international community and in countries around the globe, study the judicial process, the role of lawyers and judges, understand constitutional law, international law and comparative systems of law and justice, analyze the legal and theoretical dimensions of political life. Public Policy Concentration: The coursework in this concentration examines values, institutions, and processes in the formulation, implementation and evaluation of public policy at international, national, state and local levels.
