Biographical/Historical Note

The Department of Government and Legal Studies at Bowdoin College integrates the objectives of a liberal arts background in government with the skills utilized in careers in teaching, public service, journalism, business and law. A major in the Government and Legal Studies includes nine courses from four possible specialties: American politics, Comparative politics, Political theory, and International relations. Students can also work towards an Independent study and an Honors Project by petitioning the department and recruiting an advisor to overlook the project. A minor consists of five courses from at least 3 of the four specialties. All courses must be taken with a grade option to count towards a major or a minor.

Acknowledgment of non-neutrality

The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
