College of Arts & Sciences

Political Science is for, as we say, people who care to matter. That’s because our classes and our faculty study power, which affects everyone’s life, whether in the family, the workplace, business, or government. If you want to change something at Kent State, in your community, or in the world, you need to understand how power is distributed and wielded—that’s what we do here. Whether your interests lie in the fight for democratic freedoms, human rights, the global environment, racial equality, social welfare, or some other vital cause, we will help you study it and engage it.

Department of Geography

Welcome to the Department of Geography! The Department of Geography at Kent State University offers BA, MS, and PhD degrees in Geography, an interdisciplinary BA in Environmental Studies, along with a fully online Master of GIS. The department’s mission is to provide an inspirational environment for the pursuit of geographic knowledge. Our faculty research seeks to promote positive social and environmental change, with a focus on interdisciplinary applications and collaboration. We work at the intersection of global and local: while our research sites span five continents, we also work locally to apply our geographic knowledge to problem-solving at the community level.

Anthropology as a discipline is more relevant today than at any time in its distinguished history! Anthropology is the academic discipline that studies humans holistically through an interdisciplinary lens. It combines science with humanities, biology with culture, history with prehistory and primates with language. It is by definition concerned with human diversity and the Anthropology Department at Kent State University has provided primary leadership within academia in researching this important domain.

Plagiarism, very briefly, is taking another person's ideas and presenting them as if they are your own. Remember, the instructor thinks that anything you present (paper, project, lab report, portfolio) is your own work. Anything that is not original to you should be cited as to whose ideas they are.
