Politics - Cornell College

Politics from Cornell College is a Campus Bachelor Public Administration degree that prepares you for a Human Services career. Why Study Politics at Cornell? Politics as a Field of Study At Cornell we understand the term ?politics? to embrace everything people do that is related to making and enforcing group decisions. Politics includes ?government? in the narrow sense that most people use the term, but it is not limited to that narrow sense. Politics addresses practical questions: ?Who has power?? ?How are governments organized?? ?How are decisions made?? Politics also considers the ideas and values -- like liberty, equality, justice, democracy, and law -- that influence how we think about governance. Why Not Political Science? Ours is a department of political science , but it is also a department of political philosophy and a department of government. We feel a kinship with biology, psychology, sociology, and economics, and also with philosophy, history, and literature. We embrace the broader term ?politics? over narrower terms like ?government? and ?political science? because it better reflects the breadth of our mission and interests. The Department of Politics at Cornell Our offerings are disciplinary, but they aim to serve the liberal arts as well as the discipline itself. We embrace the College's commitment to creating an environment that is conducive to liberal learning and an appreciation of diversity. Each member of the department offers a different intellectual background, method of inquiry, scope of interest, and conception of what is important in politics. Our professional interests range from public land use policy to global feminism, and from ethics in U.S. politics to Latin American issues. View more details on Cornell College .
