The Lee University Department of History, Political Science, and Humanities has added two new majors under the oversight of Political Science: Public Administration and International Studies.
Public Administration will equip students to work in state and local politics by training them on economic, business, and communications skills and offering a political science foundation. International Studies will help prepare students for international-oriented professions, allowing students to choose a specific country or world region and a global issue pertaining to that culture to study and provide an interdisciplinary foundation.
According to Dr. Ana Shippey, assistant professor of political science at Lee, both majors will provide students specific training for careers that have recently become high in demand. The courses are meant to prepare students and build a competitive skill that will enhance their career pursuits.
Though both majors do not become official until fall 2017, students can take classes now to be credited toward the new majors. Each major was also developed to make it possible to double-major due to overlapping course requirements.
For more information about the public administration or international studies majors, contact Shippey at aalves(at)leeuniversity(dot)edu, Dr. Stephen Swindle at sswindle(at)leeuniversity(dot)edu, or Dr. Thomas Pope at thomaspope(at)leeuniversity(dot)edu.
