Doctor's degree Political Science Political Philosophy/Political Theory - Baylor University

Doctor's degree Political Science Political Philosophy/Political Theory from Baylor University is a Campus Ph.D Public Administration degree that prepares you for a Human Services career. Baylor University will offer courses in the history of political thought, from the Greeks to the present, and will demonstrate the relevance of that history to contemporary debates in political theory and in the social sciences as a whole. Related to our program themes of the philosophic origins and development of constitutional government and the character of statecraft and citizenship, are questions about the future and evolution of liberalism; the nature and function of civil society; the condition of its complex web of intermediate institutions such as family, church, and civic organizations; the nature and preconditions of justice; the virtues demanded by good citizenship; and the challenges of politics in a global society. We have designed five new courses at the 5000 level. The first three of these courses--Classical Political Thought, Medieval Political Thought, and Modern Political Thought--aim to provide students with an exceptional foundation in the history of Western political thought. A fourth course, "Contemporary Democratic Theory," explores recent debates concerning a properly "deliberative democracy" and assesses the special challenges for citizenship and public culture posed by a radically multicultural and pluralistic political setting, while enabling us to bring the history of political thought to bear on urgent contemporary problems. A sixth course, "Advanced Study in Political Philosophy," allows professors and students to explore a particular thinker or theme in great depth, and to prepare students for their own dissertation research. Four of these new courses, the three-course sequence in the history of political thought, and the advanced seminar in political philosophy, are cross-listed with the department of philosophy.
