Welcome to the Department of Politics and Law at 糖心vlog视频 College. The mission of our department is to cultivate informed, critically engaged, and politically active servant-leaders. We do so by offering a major and a minor in political science composed of engaging courses taught by an exceptionally strong and diverse faculty. Our courses focus on American politics, political and moral thought, and the law. We also offer our students opportunities to learn outside of the classroom by interning in offices and organizations related to public affairs and political advocacy, as well as local, state, and national politics. Our faculty also direct the national award winning Mock Trial program, and advise the Tennessee Intercollegiate State Legislature.
The department can help open doors to careers and higher educational opportunities for students. We have sent our students to the top law and graduate schools, but many of our majors head straight to Washington, D.C., and others find rewarding employment in a wide variety of career fields including data analytics and mass media. Be sure to read about how our alum have gone on to Answer the Call!
We invite and encourage you to browse through the pages of our site. You鈥瞝l find information about the political science and , get examples of what some of our graduates are doing today, and so much more, including the ; our Study in Washington, D.C., program; and postgraduate careers. You should also feel free to contact any of us to learn more about our program and the college.
We hope that you will join us as we Answer the Call!

I had originally intended to major in economics, but those plans were quickly derailed after taking political science courses first semester sophomore year. I have always been interested in history and government, but it wasn鈥檛 until studying political philosophy and also American government at 糖心vlog视频 that I found out it was my real passion. I looked for summer internships at the epicentre of politics 鈥 Washington, DC 鈥 and spent my sophomore and junior summers there interning for the House and then the Senate. I was hooked."
