Political Science Faculty

Dr. Stephen Clements, Associate Professor of Political Science, is the lead faculty member in the discipline and manages the program. He teaches four of the courses in the political science core on a recurring basis (PS 101: American politics and government, PS 202: History and politics of the U.S. Constitution, PS 301: Comparative politics, and PS 302: International relations), along with various upper division courses in American politics.

Faculty members from several other departments teach many of the courses that count toward the major and minor—this is fitting for an interdisciplinary degree. These include (grouped by discipline):

Dr. John Charalambakis, Professor of Economics

Dr. Michael Peterson, Professor of Philosophy

Steve Wellman, Adjunct instructor of Philosophy

Dr. Ed McKinley, Professor of History

Dr. Glen Spann, Associate Professor of History

Dr. Ike Adams, Professor of Social Work

Dr. Steve Hillis, Associate Professor of Communications

Peter Kerr, Assistant Professor of Communications

Dr. Don Simmons, Associate Professor of Communication
