Political Science

THE DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE


The Department of Political Science offers two programs in English: the BA (undergraduate) and MA (postgraduate) program in Political Science. At the level of the MA studies there are five specializations: Globalization, Studies of Totalitarian Regimes, Political Leadership, Comparative Politics and Political Communication. Both programs are taught by a strong and vibrant group of academic instructors, distinguished professors, renowned practitioners, special experts and visiting scholars.


While the Department teaches courses in all the major fields of political science, it also connects students in ways that assist them in developing their intellectual and career aspirations. All courses are taught in groups of 25 or fewer students, senior students are encouraged to be involved in student organizations of Collegium Civitas, and the Department advisors meet each semester individually with students as the latter plan their study schedules.

The Department faculty has achieved recognition for its research and teaching. Among those who teach the program are such distinguished scholars as Professors Eugeniusz Cezary Krol, Hans-Dieter Klingemann, Wlodzimierz Wesolowski, Hubert Izdebski, Dariusz Stola, Pawel Machcewicz and Bohdan Szklarski. An increasing number of visiting professors from the US and other countries give talks and deliver lectures within the BA and MA programs.


The Department of Political Science at Collegium Civitas maintains the unabashed intellectualism, the disregard for disciplinary boundaries, the commitment to diversity of approach and method, and the pure appreciation of fine scholarship. These features have always been the distinguishing hallmarks of Collegium Civitas in general, as an educational institution offering quality education to all those who are dedicated to making themselves and the world around them better.
