The Department of Government & International Affairs offers each student a foundational understanding of government and politics at all levels, and preparation for leadership in the community, nation and world.  The department builds on Wofford's broad liberal education by challenging students to deliberate on a diversity of ideas of justice, experiences of politics, and structures of power. Graduates can creatively confront the latest problem or debate, while rooted in a deep appreciation of our cultural, intellectual and political heritage.
