Department of Political Science
|
The Department of Political Science at Carleton College is large, with a wider range of courses than usually found in a small liberal arts college. With an active faculty of ten Ph.D.'s, we teach courses in most areas of American government, constitutional law, comparative political systems, international politics, and political theory. Majors choose between two tracks: political science, covering all aspects of the discipline, and political science/international relations, which has greater emphasis on international and global issues. The international relations program was originated in 1937 by former Secretary of State and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Frank B. Kellogg, through the establishment at Carleton of the Kellogg Foundation for Education in International Relations. As we represent a variety of fields and interests, so we also represent a wide spectrum of political opinion and a variety of approaches. Such diversity fosters lively debate about issues of public concern not only in classes but also in the Carleton community as a whole. Department of Political Science Laurence Cooper, Chair |
