Political Studies

Political Studies at CMU addresses power and inequalities among people, communities, and states. You will examine obstacles to fostering GodпПХs Kingdom on earth and explore how the state, other institutions, roles and relationships, technologies, bodies of knowledge, and practices of culture and citizenship facilitate or compromise the goals of justice, peace, and human dignity. A close study of the classic texts, concepts, methodologies, and assumptions of Political Studies provides a basis for further inquiry.With this foundation, critical insights and alternative approaches from within and beyond the discipline can be fruitfully assessed. Political Studies prepares you for careers, leadership, advocacy, and management in such fields as research, social work, law, business, public administration, international development, foreign affairs, community organizing, and journalism.
