Democratic Engagement
In this track in FHSU’s Political Science program, we aim to promote effective engagement in democratic life through the development of knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to foster the greater good. This track creates opportunities for personal and professional growth with a civic purpose more broadly and opens new space for collaboration within and outside the university. Political Science Programs pursue the service of the greater good for Fort Hays State University and the communities it serves.
