College of Arts and Sciences
Political science is the study of government, individual and institutional behavior in the public sector, relations among nation-states, and theories of politics. Political science addresses the fundamental  issues
confronting modern society - globalization, war, inequality, poverty,
the environment - and seeks to evaluate the processes, policies, and
theories that have been devised to deal with them. The Political Science
Program provides basic courses in theory, methods and case studies
within the four sub-fields of political theory, comparative politics,
international relations and American politics.Minor A student in another department may, with the permission of the Department of Political Science, take a minor within the department upon the completion of 18 hours of coursework in the appropriate field. Pre-Law Emphasis The pre-law emphasis allows students interested in studying law to receive special advising and to develop a liberal arts program of study appropriate as preparation for admission to law school and success in the legal profession. The study of law involves many aspects of social life and integrates many fields of study. Judges and lawyers are expected to handle different litigations, ranging from social, to medical, environmental and other applications. Thus, law schools encourage students to have diverse undergraduate majors. UNE students who are majoring in any department can take advantage of the pre-law program. Although the choice of major is open, law schools expect students to have acquired skills that enable them to think critically, reason logically, and speak and write effectively. The Pre-law Advising Committee will help students build their interdisciplinary program of study that includes not only humanities courses, but also courses in biology, environmental studies, psychology, and management.
