Beschreibung des Programms

The Law and Politics major is designed to offer students a focused course of study of law and politics in the liberal arts tradition. The core curriculum will expose students to some of the dominant approaches to the study of law and politics.

Students with a stronger interest in politics would choose a more in-depth study of politics by following the politics track of the curriculum. This track is designed to deepen a student’s understanding of politics by focusing the student’s studies in two subfields of political science in preparation for a Senior Seminar course and a Senior Thesis.

Students with a stronger interest in law, or who plan to attend law school, would choose the law track of the curriculum. This track is designed to emphasize specific courses to hone a student’s exposure to law, sharpen legal thinking, and strengthen legal writing skills in preparation for a profession in the field of law.

Both tracks are designed to develop the ability to think, write, speak, and act thoughtfully, ethically, and competently about politics.

Program Distinctions

  • Combines a contemporary approach to political science with a classical emphasis on the philosophy and history of the study of politics and law;
  • A unique two-track part of the major that allows students to focus on their area of interest (law or politics);
  • Drawing on the strength of the Dominican tradition, the program emphasizes a rigorous scientific and analytic approach to politics and law while asking the larger ethical questions of how politics and the law can contribute to the public good.
