Associate of Arts in Government

Estados Unidos

¿Qué aprenderé?

The Government Program consists of a broad area of studies on the organization and function of political institutions at the local, state, and federal levels. However, the very nature of political institutions and processes are far more complex and far-reaching than suggested by the course descriptions because they also provide insight of ourselves and our society. As a result, we seek to provide a quality academic experience based on both scientific findings and practical solutions so that students are better prepared to transition away from the community college to either university or the workforce, while obtaining knowledge and skills necessary to effectively participate, utilize and effect change in government as citizens in the community at large.
