Welcome to the Department of Political Science at Frostburg State University. We are glad that you are visiting and encourage you to get more information about our department by browsing through our web pages.

The Department of Political Science offers a broad program through which students develop an understanding of the institutions and processes associated with politics as practiced in the United States, in other nations, and between nations. Students are encouraged to learn not only about the substance of politics, but also to develop skills in writing, analysis, research, and quantitative methods.

Forty courses are offered in six subfields: American political institutions, comparative politics, international politics and foreign policy, policy studies, political behavior, and political theory. Several courses expose students to the use of computers in political science.

The Political Science faculty is committed to excellence in teaching. Moderate class sizes permit extensive student discussion and participation. The faculty has a wide range of interests and expertise. Students have frequent opportunities for contact and consultation with faculty outside of class because of the wide range of co-curricular activities available.
