The Department of Political Science offers instruction and research in the art and science of politics. Work within the department is organized around seven basic fields: American government and politics, comparative politics, public policy, law and politics, political philosophy, empirical theory and methodology, and international relations. Three major current research interests cut across these areas and concentrate teaching and research efforts on the areas of American government, comparative politics, and international relations. Five centers of research activity are housed within the department: the Center for the Study of American Politics, the Center for Comparative Politics, the Center for International Relations, the Center for Public Policy Research, and the Keller First Amendment Center. Degrees offered are B.A., M.A., Ph.D. A minor is also offered. Department of Political Science, University of Colorado, CB 333, Boulder, CO 80309-0333.
