The Political Science Program at Alma College is designed to help students become
more effective citizens and professionals, and learn the answers to these questions:
*How do government and politics operate both within the United States and
in foreign countries?
*How do nations and people interact in the international arena? What consequences
result from these activities?
*How can we use knowledge to promote our human and social values through the
political process?
Courses in comparative politics broaden our political knowledge by the examination
and comparison of the political systems in other countries. International relations
courses focus on the problems and conflicts in international politics and the
ways by which they can be resolved or minimized.
Courses in American politics offer both an introductory and an in-depth understanding
of American political institutions and processes, public management, policy
making and policy analysis, and public law. Political theory relates politics
to ethical and normative considerations, human values, and means-end problems.
