Overview

Key features

The study of politics and public affairs at Hamilton has three tracks: government, world politics, and public policy. Government majors are grounded in international relations, American politics, comparative politics, and political theory.

Many participate in Hamilton College’s program in Washington, D.C., where they get a front-line perspective on the U.S. government, including work in a Congressional or executive office. World politics focuses on a region or theme such as poverty and inequality, democratization, or international law. Public policy is interdisciplinary and includes economics and philosophy.

Students Will Learn To:

Make reasonable inferences from data and evidence in order to draw logical conclusions about historical and contemporary political phenomena
Effectively communicate ideas in clear writing
Use foundational principles of political science to plan and carry out independent research
Consider alternative perspectives in order to respond to counter-arguments
