Political Science Program

RRCC American Government Spring '09 class was invited to the State Capital by State Representative and RRCC part-time instructor, Lois Court (center). They toured the dome and learned more about the Colorado Constitution, the Tax Payer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR), higher education funding, and the law making process in general.

Red Rocks Community College offers an Associate of Arts Degree with an emphasis in Political Science.

Political Science is the study of how political systems are created, the nature of the social contracts between people and governments, political parties, political behavior and the evolution of political institutions.

Political Science offers courses leading to an Associates of Arts Degree, which provides the first two years of course work towards a Bachelor of Arts. The AA and our guaranteed core courses are designed to transfer to Colorado's public four-year colleges and universities.
