度 & 项目 政治科学

As a Westmont political science major, you’ll learn by doing.

You might play the part of a congressional party whip trying to reform health care; or issue a decision on 宗教 freedom as the Chief Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court in a mock trial; or you might just travel to New York as part of a Model United Nations. 政治科学专业培养学生在美国和国际社会的政治理论和实践, emphasizing international relations, 美国政治, comparative politics and political philosophy. 我们系帮助学生在基督教ag娱乐官网的光照下成为有政治能力的公民, working faithfully for justice in a world characterized by political, 社会, 文化, 宗教, and economic diversity.

Westmont at the NMUN in New York City 2024

Westmont's Thailand delegation was recognized as an Honorable Mention, 这很好，特别是当他们中的很多人在委员会中没有合作伙伴的情况下工作时. 也, three of our students won position paper awards! They are Emma Silver, Emily Lindblad, and Ella Oostema.  我们为他们在这充满挑战的一周中所表现出的努力和品格感到骄傲. They represented Westmont well. The students had a marvelous time during the cold and rainy weather! They had time together to explore the 9/11 memorial, 洛克菲勒中心, and the United Nations, and they were even right across the way when Biden, 奥巴马, and Clinton were at Radio City Music Hall. Lots of security and motorcades! 干得好，韦斯特蒙!
