Mock Presidential Debate 2008

State and national politics • presidential elections • international relations • political parties • public policy and American lawmaking • the politics of the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, Eastern and Western Europe, and the former Soviet Union • courts and legal system • war, revolution, and the United Nations • foreign policy and defense policy • public opinion • U.S. and foreign political institutions and processes • public policy and world order • political theory • the politics of race, gender, religion and ethnicity • national security and the terrorism industry.

These diverse learning opportunities align within four major fields of study in the Department of Political Science:

• American Politics
• Comparative Politics
• International Relations
• Political Theory

And with all of the political theories, approaches and perspectives we interpret, there is one common and unwavering perspective the Department shares:

Combine our teaching expertise, research excellence and national stature as one of the top political science departments in the nation with a commitment to providing unparalleled student instruction and hands-on opportunities.

That's our political (science) statement.

Now make yours.
