Political Science is the study of governmental institutions and political behavior on an individual and collective level.  As a transfer field, it is divided into political theory; American government and public law; public administration; comparative government; and international law, organization, and relations.  The LLCC program provides the required lower division preparation for students transferring to senior institutions as well as occasional opportunities for more specialized study.  In addition, degree and non-degree students alike are provided practical information about the political institutions and processes essential for informed participation in a democratic society and a political world—both domestic and global.
