Examine key concepts and methodologies of political science, investigate the origins of our political values, and explore various fields within the discipline, including American politics, comparative politics, international relations, and political philosophy. Analyze political ideas, theories, ideologies, systems, and policies in order to investigate political problems on a national and global level. Note: This course should be taken by students interested in majoring in political science in anticipation of other courses such as PLS 111 (American Government), PLS 113 (State and Local Government), or PLS 200 (International Relations). However, it offers a broad introduction to national and international political arrangements, policy orientations, and social outcomes that would benefit any student.
