History and Political Science Department

This department offers four majors, History, Political Science, Law and Society (in conjunction with the Department of Sociology and Social Work) and Environmental Science and Policy (in conjunction with many other departments). Each program of study offers timely and interesting courses complemented by exciting opportunities to engage in personal research, attend relevant field trips, and embark upon challenging internships. All of our faculty hold PhDs, have significant publication records, and are engaged in current research. Many of those faculty members collaborate with students in their research. Furthermore, this department facilitates our students' participation in a number of unique opportunities off campus including American University's Washington Semester Program and the Public Leadership Education Network's workshops and internships in Washington DC for women preparing for careers in public policy. Finally, a number of our courses are available to students earning minors in African American Studies, Global Studies and Medieval Studies.
