In a series of introductory, intermediate, and advanced courses, the faculty cover such diverse subjects as electoral and legislative processes, political behavior, and federalism; U.S. foreign policy, international conflict, and European integration; area studies, including politics of Africa, Latin America, Western Europe, Asia, and the Middle East; and, the political thought of the ancient Greeks, Enlightenment thinkers, Modernists, the Founding Fathers, and contemporary theorists.
The department also has a special commitment to teaching law and politics, offering four constitutional law courses, as well as courses on the Supreme Court, law and society, and law and social movements. The department is committed to broad coverage and, at the same time, aims to expose students to the basic intellectual strategies of the discipline.
