See the program structure page for the spread of courses through the semesters.
Minor
The Department offers two Minor programs, one in International Relations and another in Political Philosophy.
A minor in International Relations exposes students to the essentials of the discipline and develops a global outlook to understanding the connections between local, national, and international developments. It can be used as a bridge to further studies, like a major or a graduate degree in International Relations.
A minor in Political Philosophy will equip students with the more critical ideas underpinning our understanding of politics, state, and governance. Training in the traditions and methods of political philosophy will enable students to understand and problematize critical concerns and concepts that constitute our understanding of political reality. A big-picture perspective will enable students to locate prevalent ideas about politics in their historical and cultural contexts. In addition to an intensive engagement with the philosophical underpinnings of political ideas and action, an introduction to critical philosophical thinking skills will hold the students in good stead in any career they choose.
