从实践经验中学习

The mission of the JU Department of 政治科学 is to equip students with the foundational knowledge and practical skills to be responsible and engaged local and global public citizens. This objective is met by courses centering on classroom and virtual engagement through individual and group projects, presentations, and simulation exercises, such as debates and model UN delegations.

Outside of class, students can take part in a variety of activities to develop their interest in policy, as well as their leadership skills, including attending campus 由 JU Public Policy Institute, organizing speakers for the JU 政治科学 Society, and participating on the mock trial competition team.

Realizing the practical nature of daily civic engagement, department majors are encouraged to further individualize their degree plan through experiential learning by completing a political internship within the 杰克逊维尔市 or the student’s home city, 州或国家.
