Politics - Marlboro College

Politics from Marlboro College is a Campus Bachelor Public Administration degree that prepares you for a Human Services career. Politics looks at how power operates in the world. Whether we're looking at politics in Africa or theoretical justifications for violence, political scientists are attuned to the role power plays in human activities. Classes in political science focus on such questions as: ?What is power?? ?Who has power?? ?How did they get it?? ?What are they doing with it?? The manner in which we investigate those questions can be as concrete as public policy and as complex as post-structural thought. Political science enhances one's ability to read critically, to develop coherent arguments, to consider multiple perspectives and to be attuned to the complexities of the world we live in. Studying political science provides the necessary confidence to engage in current political controversies. Students working in politics develop a nuanced understanding of informal and formal structures of power and a heightened sense of their capacity to act as political subjects in an increasingly complex world.
