The concentration in Political Philosophy is a 12-credit-hour program designed for students wishing to deepen their understanding of the political world through philosophical inquiry. Courses in this concentration consider the normative issues that shape political perspectives, considering questions about power, liberty, and happiness, among others. This concentration directly assists students interested in attending law school or graduate school in Philosophy or Political Science. It is also appropriate for those entering work in any area of political or community life, and serves as an integrated approach to satisfying general education requirements in the Humanities and Social Sciences, and can therefore complement a variety of majors.
