Political Studies is much more than simply the study of governments, states or elections. In Political Studies we explore the power relations that weave throughout societies, communities, families, organizations, and other institutions. Political Studies prepares students for lives of active citizenship and careers in leadership, advocacy, and management.
Political Studies at CMU addresses power and inequalities among people, communities, and states. You will explore how the state, technologies, bodies of knowledge, and practices of culture and citizenship facilitate or compromise goals of justice, peace, and human dignity. A close study of the classic texts, concepts, methodologies, and assumptions of Political Studies provides a foundation where critical insights and approaches, from within and beyond the discipline, can be fruitfully assessed.
