Part III. Program Features

Program Goals State the overall purpose and the major goals of the program by providing a clear expose of the program’s teaching intentions, i.e., writing a brief statement of what the program intends to deliver, how the program will ensure educational effectiveness, identifying the core concepts and any rationale.

The Program seeks to prepare students for entry into the various careers in the public and private sectors. To adapt to changing structures, the Program equips its graduates with the analytical and critical skills that allow them to understand how political systems function, how to affect politics through participation, how to make rational choices both about state policies and those who should govern, and what are the links between political and social life. Faculty members offer specializations in Comparative Politics, Modern Public Administration, Urban and Local Studies, Turkish Politics, and Political Theory. In comparison to graduates of other disciplines, graduates of this program should both be better able rationally to argue for favored state policies against their competitors, and be more effective in working for the defense or implementation of these policies.
