History
It was in 1915, eight years after the establishment of the University of the Philippines in 1908, when the Department of Political Science was established as a unit of the College of Liberal Arts. The first head f the unit, then called "chief of the Department," was George A. Malcolm. He headed the Department while he was concurrently Dean of the College of Law from 1915-1920. His successor as Chief of the Department was Maximo M. Kalaw, the first Filipino head of the Department. Kalaw headed the Department from 1920-1934.
The Department greatly influenced the development of the discipline in our country. Malcolm's Government of the Philippine Islands and his collaborative work with Kalaw, Philippine Government, firmly established the legalistic and institutional approaches of the discipline in our country.
These dominant approaches had been strongly challenged in the Department in the 1960s, and has now been replaced with orientations in political sociology and political economy. These have become the dominant perspectives in the Department. The Department has continued to influence the discipline in our country in spite of institutional reorganizations of the College of Liberal Arts. In the 1950s, the College was reorganized into a College of Arts and Sciences, which was divided into three Colleges in 1983 - College of Arts and Letters, College of Science, and College of Social Sciences and Philosophy. The Department of Political Science is now one of the seven departments in the College of Social Sciences and Philosophy.
Academic Programs
Degree Programs Offered
The Department of Political Science seeks to achieve the following objectives: maintain and upgrade curricular programs -- B.A. Political Science, BA-MA Honors Program, M.A. and Ph.D. in Political Science and the Master in International Studies (MIS) Program--; promote faculty development and welfare; and upgrade office infrastructures.
The undergraduate program (B.A. Political Science) is designed to develop expertise in political science primarily through the provision of instruction and research guidance to undergraduate students. This program has been the major baccalaureate offering of the Department. Curricular offerings are revised when the need arises, to keep it up to date with developments in the discipline. The program in place now was the result of the revisions made in 1987, 1990 and latest round of curricular changes approved on March 15, 1995 (fully implemented and made effective for incoming freshmen during the school year 1995-1996).
BA Political Science program
A four-year degree program that aims to provide students with the skills to conduct political science research. The courses to be taken include 45 units of GE subjects in three domains: social sciences and philosophy; mathematics, science and technology; and arts and humanities, 12 units of economics courses, 12 units of foreign language courses, political science subjects and cognates.
Students who plan to specialize in the discipline, a five-year BA-MA Political Science Honors Program is a good option. After showing good academic performance in the first two years, interested students may apply for admission. Under the program, the student conducts two theses (master's and undergraduate), takes readings and graduate courses. The students graduates twice: after completing the BA part and finally after completing the whole program.
MA and Ph.D. degree programs
The MA and Ph.D. in Political Science degree programs are designed to :
1. help competent individuals to qualify for various professions such as teaching and research in the fields of private and public service;
2. assist in the development of the individual s a scholar as well as a person to enable him to fulfill the role of a responsible citizen in his chosen calling; and
