Government (BA)
Cornell University · Ithaca, United States
About this programme
The Government major curriculum provides students with a broad range of options for study. Some students specialize in one of our four traditional subfields: American Politics, Comparative Politics, International Relations, and Political Theory. Others develop their own thematic interests by combining courses across subfields, focusing on issues such as democracy, identity, institutions, political economy, conflict studies, or studies of one particular world region (Asia, Europe, or another). Other students take a more different approach, taking different courses across the subfields for a comprehensive introduction to the study of politics. The flexibility of the curriculum is one of the strengths of the Government major.
