Political Science

Political science studies what is possible for humankind, and the public processes and institutions through which we seek to realize those possibilities. Thus, political science is the study of ends: happiness, freedom, prosperity, security; and political science is also the study of means: public law and authority, policy-making and administration, interest groups and political parties, political power and compromise, political action and public participation, political leadership and public opinion.

UCFV offers a minor in Applied Ethical and Political Philosophy as part of the Bachelor of Arts program. Please refer to the Bachelor of Arts section for more information.
