Political science explores the world of politics and the principles, techniques, and institutions through which we make collective decisions and resolve group conflicts. An understanding of politics is an especially useful skill for anyone entering a technical career, because so much of modern science and technology is embroiled in political controversy.
At Missouri S&T, courses are offered in American politics, comparative politics, international relations, and political theory. If you wish to pursue a specialized investigation of politics, a minor in political science is available.
