Where theory meets practice
The Franklin College political science curriculum is rooted in the belief that the best way to learn political science is to practice it. The program leads students out of the classroom and into their communities early in college. For example, students may learn from a service project with local government, observe trials and court arguments or volunteer on a political campaign.
The political science curriculum offers students courses in many areas, including:
- American government and policy
- International relations and diplomacy
- Constitutional law
- Foreign policy
- International law
- Elections and political participation
- State & local government
- Congress
- Executive branch
- Courts, justice and advocacy
- Individual research topics
Franklin College political science students receive small school attention and big opportunities.
