The Political Science B program at the Colin Powell School offers a wide variety of courses on politics, law and government in order to understand where political power is, how it operates, whose interests it serves—who gets what, when, where, how.

DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE
This program explores political institutions of every kind: executive and legislative bodies, courts and legal systems, bureaucracies, political parties, interest groups and coalitions, mass media, structures of international cooperation and conflict, ethnic, religious and ideological movements.
The courses prepare for careers in politics and in government employment generally in law, mass communications, health professions and in every aspect of private and public planning. Our central vocation, however, is to give students the knowledge and awareness they will need to become free and active citizens.
