Overview

Key facts

The Political Science programme at Goucher College places emphasis on the relation between politics in theory and politics in action. It equips students with the skills necessary to conduct independent research on important political questions and to participate in public problem-solving.

Students will learn to raise critical questions regarding power, political institutions, and political actors, to ask questions in a complex way and distinguish between tested and untested opinion, and to have a firm understanding of the political systems in which they are found. Other program goals include having students become engaged citizens globally, nationally, and locally.

What will you do?

Within the context of a liberal arts college, the program gives special attention to preparing students for careers in government, politics, public interest organizations, law, and journalism, as well as providing training useful for those wishing to pursue graduate or professional degrees.

Certification for teaching social studies in the secondary schools may be based on a major in political science or international relations.

Political science at Goucher seeks to sensitize students to the role of the active citizen who is responsibly assertive in the community.
