The fundamental mission of the Department of Government and
Sociology is to promote critical reflection
and the advancement of knowledge by its
faculty and students. The faculty are
dedicated to the integrative character of the
liberal arts and to the primary role played
by the social science disciplines within the
liberal arts.
The
various programs of the department share a
focus on challenging students to analyze
their roles as active citizens and
prospective public servants in a democratic
society and the international community.
Your professors will strive to teach students
to think critically, to understand the
philosophical and scientific foundations of
the social science disciplines, to be able to
communicate their understandings, and to be
prepared for life and work in a rapidly
changing world.
We
also offer a pre-law program. There is no
pre-law major per se, nor is there one
particular course of study that leads to law
school. While most undergraduate students who
are thinking about attending law school are
majoring in political science, criminal
justice, or another social science, law
schools accept good students with practically
any undergraduate degree, from astronomy to
zoology. The department has advisors who can
offer detailed information and advice about
preparing for law school. Moreover, within
the political science major, the department
offers a legal studies concentration that
many have found to be a very useful
preparation for law school or for obtaining
positions in legal settings.
