What it is	This program combines study of political systems, social policy, and leadership theory across multiple disciplines to prepare you to understand and influence how communities and institutions work. It differs from a straight political science degree by explicitly weaving in civic engagement and practical leadership skills alongside theory. It suits students who want to think critically about social problems and are drawn to roles in government, non-profit work, or community organizations.	An Arts degree lets you study humanities subjects like languages, philosophy, literature, and religious traditions. You choose from fields including Asian and Chinese studies, English, French, Japanese, and South Asian studies. This program suits people curious about how societies think, communicate, and organize meaning across cultures and history.
