<p>Hi all!</p>
<p>I'm new to the board and just had a question about CMC. From various sources, I have heard of the excellent Goverment program offered at CMC. Can anyone expand on that? Is my information true? I appreciate any insight offered in my quest for a great undergrad PoliSci program!</p>
<p>Any insight would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>CMC's strongest programs are economics, government, and international relations, and most of the students are politically active. its a good school for government</p>
<p>I'm planning on studying gov there. They have an amazing government department. Because there aren't grad students, undergrads can help profs w/ research and they offer a semester in washington d.c. intern program that sounds great.</p>
<p>I didn't realize that CMC was only undergrad. That seems to be a great benefit. For those of you who are choosing CMC for the government program, what made you opt for this school as opposed to others with strong programs (what other ones were you considering)? Thanks</p>
<p>I've heard the school is fairly "conservative". Does this mean like Young Republicans, or supporters of Kerry instead of Nader? How is the political atmosphere on campus?</p>
<p>Its pretty conservative- for a liberal arts school. The political views are close to a third conservative, a third liberal, and a third undecided or apathetic. So basically, its conservative b/c its about equall representitive as opposed to being overwhelmingly liberal. When I visited there, it was the only one the the 5 colleges w/ both Kerry and Bush posters.</p>
<p>I applied to CMC, and i plan to major in IR. I'm interested in CMC b/c they have more options for IR than almost anybody, a great rep for Gov't, and are more conservative than most LACs.</p>
