Return to: School of Humanities, Religion and Social Science Programs
Program Director: Bret Kincaid, Ph.D.
Overview
The political science major provides students with an increased understanding of the political world—both inside and outside of the United States. It does so through a program of study that introduces them to the discipline of political science, engages them in political analysis and enables them to develop a critical understanding of politics and its place in human society. The exploration of things political is rigorously engaged in and informed by a Christian/Anabaptist worldview. Upon completion of the major, students will be prepared to pursue advanced study or a career for which political science is an appropriate background, and to provide service to society reflective of the values expressed in the Fresno Pacific Idea.
Program Student Learning Outcomes
- Recognize and describe the major issues and debates within the discipline of political science.
- Explain the role and impact of governmental entities in contemporary state, national and international settings.
- Communicate effectively and appropriately in both oral and written forms, especially through the use of critical analysis in articulation and support of political ideas.
- Assess the design and impact of historical and/or contemporary policies.
- Evaluate political phenomena in the light of religious and/or ethical values.
