About Extended International Pathway Program (IPP) - 3-Semester Pathway + Bachelor of Arts - Politics and Government

Program Description

The undergraduate major in politics and government is the study of policy, government, and law. Its object is understanding of the processes by which power, authority, influence, control, freedom, wealth, and other political resources are competitively pursued, captured, and distributed; the conversion of these political resources into public policies; the institutionalization of these policies into government; and the authoritative statement, administration, and enforcement of policies by government as law. The balance struck by any political system, between the distribution of sacrifices or costs it exacts and its distribution of benefits, affords a basis for evaluating the legitimacy or justice of its policies.

Political scientists ask not only “what is” but also “what ought to be.” Combining considerations of fact and values, the study of politics and government is thus valuable as a training in citizenship, indispensable as a training for government. It also prepares for careers in teaching, politics, journalism, law, and in the representation of public or private interest at all levels of policy making. 

The curriculum of politics and government at the University of Hartford is organized into five areas:

Area 1: American Politics and Government
Area 2: Comparative Politics and Government
Area 3: International Politics
Area 4: Political Theory
Area 5: Law and Politics

Learning Outcomes:
  • Students will develop familiarity with political processes and institutions at the local, national, and international level.
  • Students will be able to read and comprehend a wide range of material describing, analyzing, and evaluating political phenomena and develop a reflective awareness of their personal political values.
  • Students will be able to identify, apply, and evaluate political arguments.
  • Students will be able to understand, apply, and evaluate a variety of quantitative and qualitative methods of political inquiry.
  • Students will be able to apply this knowledge and these skills in oral and written discourse.
