Abstract
Political Science Program offers courses on American Politics, Political Theory, International Relations, Comparative Politics and Public Law. The collection is composed of records regarding Municipal Institute held by the Political Science Department at South Dakota State University as well as material regarding the International Institute of Municipal Officials, the South Dakota Local Government Institute, and records produced by the Department of Political Science.
Historical Note
The first catalog of the college, 1884-1885, listed political economy as a course of instruction. Political economy was a common 19th century composite subject, which included not only political science and economics, but sociology as well. During the 1890's, departmental grouping began to be formed and political science courses were included in a succession of departments. In 1905, the Department of History and Political Science was created. This was the administrative home for these two disciplines until they were split in 1967.
Political science courses are designed to achieve several objectives: 1) convey the values and tradition of our democratic governmental institutions and processes and encourage students to assert their talents in preserving and nurturing those values and traditions through participation in the body politic; 2) promote global awareness and understanding; 3) engender critical thinking and a high proficiency in communication skills; 4) serve the other social sciences as a cognate field; 5) provide the student majoring in political science with foundation and advanced courses in the many sub-disciplines of political science which, in turn, will contribute to the student's intellectual growth and occupational pursuits.
Political Science is now merged into the Department of Political, Sciences, Philosophy, and Religion.
Arrangement
This collection is arranged into two series:
Series 1. Departmental records
Series 2. Municipal Institute records
