I. Mission Statement and Goals of the Department
The mission of the Political Science Department is to promote responsible citizenship, prepare students for jobs in County, State, and Federal institutions, and qualify our majors for acceptance to top-notch graduate programs and law schools. The Political Science program is designed to provide majors with exposure to a broad range of topics within the field of Political Science and train students in the techniques and theories used by political scientists to explore, describe, and explain political phenomena. The UH Hilo Political Science program prides itself on small classes, personal advising, and quality education with aloha. (source: http://hilo.hawaii.edu/depts/politicalsci/)
By graduation, Political Science majors: • will be able to identify the major sub-fields of political science and the literature and scholarly contributions in each sub-field of political science; • will know the research methods and documentation requirements for conducting and reporting research in political science; • will be able to produce research papers in a Chicago format that demonstrate high levels of written communication fluency and information literacy; • will be able to communicate political ideas effectively through written and oral communication; • will be able to critically analyze political events and phenomena; • will be able to employ different statistical tests for the purposes of testing hypotheses and to select the right statistical test for the data at hand.

III. Executive Summary
The Political Science Department (POLS) offers major and minor degrees in Political Science, offers a certificate in International Studies, and since the 2010 merger, houses the Administration of Justice (AJ) inter-disciplinary major. The department has five permanent faculty who each are responsible for teaching three courses each Fall and Spring semester (the POLS Chair and the AJ Coordinator each receive one course reduction each academic year). Occasionally, faculty receive course buyouts for grant writing or service activities.
The Department offers core (100-200 level) and topical (300-400 level) courses in all of the main subfields of Political Science. The results of the department’s continuing Content Assessment test indicate that students acquire basic information in all of the required core courses. This is reflected in similar improvement across all the core areas of political science offered by the department. These areas are: American Politics, Political Theory, Public Law, International Politics, Comparative Politics, and Research Methods. The results of the department’s first written communication assessment also demonstrate that student writing improves over their duration of studies.
The Political Science Department contributes greatly to the University’s General Education Curriculum. The curriculum is particularly strong in its contributions to the categories of the Social Science Area requirement, and the Global and Community Citizenship and Writing Intensive Integrative requirements. Further details appear later in this document.
The department runs a number of programs in addition to its regular classroom curriculum. The department runs two internships programs: a federal and state off-island legislative internship (POLS 481), and a flexible (mostly local) internship program that can be taken for a variety of credits (POLS 391). The department has run an award-winning Model United Nations program for many years (further details on the future of this program appear later in this document). The department also offers students a variety of co-curricular activities, such as the Political Science Club, assistance with LSAT prep, and First Fridays Research Colloquia. Finally, the department hosts an induction dinner every semester for new members of Pi Sigma Alpha, the Political Science Honor Society.
The number of POLS majors has declined over the past five years as the number of AJ majors has increased. In order to offer a variety of courses in each subfield and serve the Administration of Justice program, it has been necessary to hire two to three lecturers each term. But even the employment of lecturers has not sufficed to cover all of our courses and insure that all courses are taught in a two-year cycle so that students can graduate on time.
The mission of the Political Science Department has shifted as the number of AJ majors has increased and the number of POLS majors has decreased. Our newest faculty hire was contingent upon that member offering curriculum that also serves the AJ major. Moreover, two other faculty members have increased their course offerings that serve AJ majors. While the department is pleased with the growth of the AJ major, it is actively engaged in collecting data so that it can work to reverse the decline in the number of POLS majors.
University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, Political Science Departmental Program Review Self Study for AY 2014-15 Page 2 of 25
A current challenge for the department is monitoring alumni successes. The department has produced three Truman Scholars (one since the last program review) and has sent many students to graduate and law school. Several alumni have successful careers in law and politics. The department needs to develop a program for identifying and quantifying these successes for purposes of both instructional quality assessment and potential endowment streams.
Since the 2006 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the department and administration, the department has experienced a variety of changes. Most notably, the department has three new faculty due to two retirements and one death. The character of the program has altered as new faculty offer courses within their fields of expertise and as faculty gear curriculum to serve the growing AJ major.
The 2006 MOU included six action items. Three of the items were to be executed individually by the administration, two were to be executed individually by the department, and one was to be executed jointly by the department and administration. Of the three items to be executed by the administration, only one has been carried out. The items to be executed by the department and the collaborative item have all been carried out. Further details appear later in this document.
In addition to tackling the challenges of alumni tracking and reversing declining major numbers, the department will be involved in two other collaborative efforts. The first involves negotiating the Administration of Justice Program Review MOU and complying with programmatic changes. The second effort is the contribution of courses towards an interdisciplinary pre-law certificate.
The document concludes with a discussion of resource issues that have affected the department and further suggestions. The department notes that it has seen its B-Budget cut in half over the past few years to a level that does not even cover fixed expenses. Finally, the department notes how faculty have been stretched thin by the growth of the AJ major, having to teach courses that contribute to the AJ program while neglecting the richness of POLS program offerings. The department makes the case for the sixth faculty position that was requested at last program review (Public Policy/Public Administration) in order to fill this deficiency.

IV. Program Organization
Curriculum
The Political Science Department (POLS) offers major and minor degrees in Political Science, offers a certificate in International Studies, and houses the Administration of Justice (AJ) inter- disciplinary major.
The Political Science Major
Political Science majors are required to take six core courses which cover most of the main subfields of the discipline and research methods. The required core courses and faculty associated with each subfield are: POLS 101: Introduction to American Politics or POLS 101G: National Citizenship (Dr. Belt) POLS 201: Introduction to Political Theory (Dr. Young) POLS 220: Introduction to Legal Systems (Dr. Marusek) POLS 242: Introduction to World Politics (Dr. Lee) POLS 251: Introduction to Comparative Politics (Dr. Wang) POLS 280: Methods of Research (Dr. Belt)
A Capstone Seminar (POLS 470S) is also a required course for POLS majors, and is taught on a rotating basis by each member of the department. The program also offers a number of upper- division electives in each of the main subfields of political science. Majors are required to take 15 upper division Political Science credits (for a total of 36 credits) and must maintain a C average (GPA = 2.0) in the major in order to graduate. It should be noted that because it is not possible for a permanent faculty of five to cover all geo-political areas of the globe, the comparative politics subfield focuses on Asia and the Pacific, consistent with the mission statement of the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo. Internships, directed studies and a senior thesis course are offered but not required. The sixth common topical subfield of Political Science (not including Research Methods) is Public Policy/Public Administration. We have no faculty member whose research and teaching focuses on this area, so Drs. Belt and Young cover this subfield area which is offered as part of the upper division curriculum instead of as a core.
The Political Science Minor
The Political Science Minor requires 21 credits taken from the following three modules: 1. Required course: POLS 101 Am Politics: National or POLS 101G: Am Politics: National Citizenship 2. Any three of the following courses: POLS 201 Introduction to Political Theory POLS 220 Introduction to Legal Systems POLS 242 Introduction to World Politics POLS 251 Introduction to Comparative Politics 3. Three POLS courses (300-level and above)
University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, Political Science Departmental Program Review Self Study for AY 2014-15 Page 4 of 25
The International Studies Certificate
The International Studies Certificate integrates a wide variety of existing courses into a cohesive whole focusing on international issues. This program of study is designed to prepare students for career opportunities in the new world system—a world system in which nongovernmental actors are proliferating, global communications networks multiplying, world travel expanding and in which states are becoming increasingly interdependent. The Certificate is particularly useful for students pursuing careers in the foreign service, international institutions, nongovernmental international organizations, international business and tourism. The International Studies Certificate aims both to ready students for careers in the new world system and to foster global understanding (source: http://hilo.hawaii.edu/catalog/cert_international-relations.html). The curriculum requires 38 credit hours, and is currently structured as follows:
1. General Education Co-Requisites (Choose four courses [12 semester hours] from the courses listed below:) ANTH 100 Cultural Anthropology GEOG 102 Geography of World Regions GEOG 103 Geography and Contemporary Society HIST 151 World History: Prehistory to 1500 HIST 152 World History: from 1500 to the Present 2. Program Requirements (14 semester hours) First year language POLS 242 Introduction to World Politics or POLS 251 Introduction to Comparative Politics ECON 100 Intro to Economics 3. International Relations Concentration Option (Choose four courses [12 semester hours] from the courses listed below:) GEOG 350 Geography of Asia POLS 340 U.S. Foreign Policy POLS 342 International Law POLS 345 Model United Nations POLS 351 Politics of China POLS 353 Politics of Japan POLS 355 International Political Economy
The Administration of Justice Major
The Political Science department houses the Administration of Justice major since the merger of the AJ major into the department in 2010. Each year, faculty from the department offer a number of courses that contribute required or elective courses to the major. The following faculty contribute the following course offerings to the AJ Major: Dr. Marusek: All classes serve as Required and Elective AJ courses Dr. Belt: 4 classes per year serve as Required and Elective AJ courses Dr. Lee: 2 classes per year serve as Required and Elective AJ courses* Dr. Young: 2 classes per year serve as Required and Elective AJ courses*
University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, Political Science Departmental Program Review Self Study for AY 2014-15 Page 5 of 25
* Note: Dr. Lee is currently developing curriculum that will permit her to teach four courses per year that serve the AJ major. She is qualified to teach a required course but has yet to do so. Dr. Young teaches a total of four courses for the AJ major, but offers two on a yearly basis but frequently offers a third summer course.
Dr. Young currently serves as the Administration of Justice Coordinator, and the AJ program is undergoing program review concurrently with the POLS department. Further information on curriculum is available in the Administration of Justice Program Review Self-Study (AY 2014- 15).
Unique Features of the Curriculum
Internships
The Political Science Department sponsors a number of hands-on activities to broaden and deepen the students’ knowledge of political science. Among these are a variety of internships in local, state, and federal agencies, law offices, political campaigns, nonprofit organizations, and media. Local internships can be taken for a variety of credits (between 3-12 per semester) as “POLS 391: Political Internship” as a means to supplement in-class curriculum during the semester. Internships that are off-island, full-time, and for the duration of the semester are offered as “POLS 481: Legislative Internship.” The department currently sends two students each semester to work in the Washington DC and Honolulu offices of US Senator Brian Schatz for paid internships as part of the POLS 481 program. The department also sends another intern (paid a stipend out of departmental funds) each spring to work in the Honolulu office of State Senator Gilbert Kahele.
Political science students who demonstrate mastery of the subject matter, professional competence, and responsibility are eligible to participate in these internship programs. The Washington DC and Honolulu interns are selected through a competitive application process involving decisions both at the departmental level as well as at the legislator’s level. Through the internship programs, students gain a unique experience in politics and government that supplements their coursework and enhances their post-graduation employment prospects. At the end of the semester, the department hosts an Internship Colloquium in which all participants share their experiences and what they have learned with other students and our faculty. The program has promoted close collaboration and positive relations between the community and the department, which have created a number of positive spillover benefits.
Model United Nations
The Department, along with our student organization, Hui Na Lahui Huipu (Model United Nations Club), sponsors a team that competes each April in the National Model United Nations in New York City. This competition, which meets in part at UN headquarters, draws 3,000 college students from some 200 universities and colleges from around the world. Team members must take POLS 345 to prepare them for the competition. They learn basic facts about
University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, Political Science Departmental Program Review Self Study for AY 2014-15 Page 6 of 25
the UN, rules of procedure, speech and caucusing skills, how to write resolutions and position papers, background on the country they will represent, and the foreign policy position of that country on some 30 assigned international issues. The UH Hilo Model United Nations team is the only one that competes in New York City from the state of Hawai‘i.
Since our last program review, the MUN team won awards each year it competed in New York (it did not compete in 2010 or 2014). The team won Honorable Mention three times (finishing in the top 15% of teams competing), three times won Distinguished Delegation (top 10%), and once won Outstanding Delegation (top 5%, highest honor). Below is a summary: 2006 Honorable Mention (Ecuador) 2007 Distinguished Delegation (Mexico) 2008 Distinguished Delegation (Congo) 2009 Distinguished Delegation (Brazil) 2011 Honorable Mention (Slovakia) 2012 Outstanding Delegation (Finland) 2013 Honorable Mention (Hungary) These results are particularly impressive considering that the team competes against many universities who fund the their team’s trip. Few teams have to travel so far and at such expense as the UH Hilo MUN team. To that end, students must engage in a great deal of fundraising for the trip. However, the fundraising never covers all expenses, and students must cover a majority of their expenses out of pocket. Each year, the university is happy to use these results for public relations purposes. Also each year, students request funding for their travel from the university and are largely denied. In only a few cases has the university provided a very small amount of funding for the team, mostly from student fees via UHHSA and SAC, and once from the CAS Dean. These contributions have done little to offset the enormous cost to students.
The faculty advisor for MUN, Dr. Taylor, retired in spring of 2013. The university did not replace him right away, and his position went unfilled for a year. During that time, the department voted to maintain the program by hiring a lecturer, Dr. Aranas, for the spring of 2014. Since the team had missed deadlines for registration and country selection for the national competition in New York, Dr. Aranas and his class decided to participate in a regional conference in San Francisco. The class was unsuccessful in producing a team with adequate funding, and Dr. Aranas brought only one student to the conference.
The department welcomed its new faculty member, Dr. Lee, in fall 2014 and debated whether or not to continue the program. At the request of students and after speaking with Dr. Taylor, Dr. Lee agreed to teach the course. Unfortunately for Dr. Lee, the critical mass of students—who are allowed to repeat the course for credit and actively recruit other motivated students—had dwindled. Worse yet, the university refused student requests for funding. Further complicating matters was the fact the number of POLS majors has declined and that many of the most active POLS majors spent the academic year studying abroad. Because of these ongoing challenges, the department will not be sending a team to the competition this year and will be suspending the Model UN program indefinitely. The department underscores the fact that these structural problems account for its decision to suspend the program, and do not at all reflect poorly on the efforts of Dr. Lee, who, admirably, spent a disproportionate amount of time helping the class with curriculum as well as fundraising.

Pre-law Resources and Curriculum
When UCB was built, the Political Science Department designed a mock trial room (UCB 330). Under Dr. Taylor (who retired 2013), and once since his retirement, the department has offered a mock-trial course (POLS 320), in which six trial attorneys/per-diem judges presided over six mock trial simulations conducted in the room. The room also features a comprehensive law library. In 2013, the members of the department took spent a weekend day together remodeling and updating the library. The department members installed new shelving and replaced aging volumes with up-to-date ones donated by the Hawaii County Office of the Corporation Counsel.
The law library also features a number of Law School Aptitude Test (LSAT) prep books. Students are permitted to use these books in preparation for the test. Each semester, Dr. Marusek invites UH Mānoa’s Richardson School of Law admissions director to campus to meet with students and to answer their questions on the law school application process. Dr. Marusek, who serves as the college’s pre-law advisor and university-wide LSAC contact, is working with our department and other departments in the Social Sciences and Humanities to develop an interdisciplinary pre-law certificate that will draw heavily upon political science courses.
Co-Curricular Programs
Political Science Club
The Political Science Club is a Registered Independent Student Organization (RISO) which serves the educational and social interests of students and provides leadership opportunities for club officers. Club members arrange activities and events that promote awareness of political issues. For their activities, the club has invited speakers on a number of issues, held movie nights, organized voter education and registration projects, and co-sponsored events with other campus RISOs. Dr. Young serves as the faculty advisor to the Political Science Club.
Pi Sigma Alpha
Exceptional students are invited to become members of the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo’s Iota Iota chapter of the National Political Science Honor Society, Pi Sigma Alpha. The department hosts an induction dinner every semester for new members of Pi Sigma Alpha. Dr. Belt serves as the faculty advisor to Pi Sigma Alpha.
First Fridays Colloquia
For a few years running, Dr. Young organized First Fridays Research Colloquia. These colloquia served as a forum for the presentation of research by faculty and students alike. The colloquia helped to develop a learning community regarding the research conducted by students and faculty.
University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, Political Science Departmental Program Review Self Study for AY 2014-15 Page 8 of 25
International Conferences and Workshops
Since our last program review, two faculty have organized international academic conferences. For each, students were recruited as volunteers and some were awarded stipends for participation. In 2009, Dr. Belt organized the conference: Evaluating the George W. Bush Presidency, which featured 60 scholars from around the world. This April, Dr. Marusek is convening the 16th International Roundtable for the Semiotics of Law. Additionally, Dr. Lee organized the Conflict Management Workshop, a two-day workshop with an internationally- renown mediator, in February of 2015. Over 90 students, faculty, and community members participated in the workshops.
Contributions to General Education
Nearly every course offered by the department is certified to satisfy the Social Sciences Area Requirement (and the remainder will be certified in the coming years). POLS 251 contributes to the World Cultures Basic Requirement, and POLS 280 contributes to the Quantitative Reasoning Basic Requirement. POLS 351 and POLS 353 contribute to the Hawai‘i Pan-Pacific Integrative requirement. Several courses in the program satisfy the Global and Community Citizenship Integrative requirement, including POLS 101G, 304, 325, 334, 391, and 481. Additionally, the department certifies two to three courses per semester as Writing Intensive (WI) in order to help students improve their writing and to contribute to the WI Integrative requirement. A matrix displaying the POLS classes certified for various General Education Requirements appears as Appendix A.
Curriculum Changes
Due to a sixty percent turnover in faculty since our last program review, there have been a good deal of changes to our curriculum. There has been little change to the core required curriculum, but the department has developed new upper-division courses reflecting the expertise of new faculty and to serve the growing AJ major. Additionally, the department has archived a few upper division courses for which we no longer have faculty to teach. A matrix that aligns POLS course offerings with POLS Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) appears as Appendix B. A comprehensive list of all POLS course offerings can be found here: http://hilo.hawaii.edu/catalog/pols-courses.html
New Core Courses
POLS 101G: Intro to American Politics, National Citizenship was created as a version of POLS 101 that would serve the GCC (Global and Community Citizenship) integrative requirement. This version includes a required group citizenship project, whereas the regular POLS 101 does not. This affords the department flexibility when a lecturer is used to teach the course.
University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, Political Science Departmental Program Review Self Study for AY 2014-15 Page 9 of 25
POLS 201: Introduction to Political Theory was created to better represent the lower division requirements in the area of political theory. This core requirement had previously been served by the course POLS 301: Liberalism and Its Critics.
New or Modified Upper-division Courses
POLS 303/WS 303: Feminist Political Theory. New course offering. An examination of the progression of feminist political thought. Topics covered include the roles of women in the history of Western political thought, early feminist writings, and contemporary feminist theories related to liberalism, radicalism, and postmodernity. Cross-listed with Women’s Studies.
POLS 304: Liberalism and Globalism. Modified Course offering. Classical liberalism, neoliberalism, and their critical appraisals, with emphasis on the global dimensions of liberty, equality, and democracy in economic and political life. Replaced POLS 301: Liberalism and Its Critics, and satisfies the GCC requirement.
POLS/GEOG 325: Legal Geography. New course offering. In this course, we will explore and examine a variety of places that upon first consideration, do not seem either legal or political. We will investigate a variety of types of places and spaces that carry legal and political weight in our everyday lives. Themes of consumption, expression, access, accommodation, culture, sex, race, living, national identity, community, discipline, and property will guide our inquiry into the relationship between law, politics, and spatial habitation. Satisfies AJ required module as well as GCC.
POLS/WS 327: Law and Identity. New course offering. In this course, we will politically engage with the legal construction of who we are as individuals and our presence within different communities. The relationship between law and identity involves politically contested frameworks of sexuality, gender, race and ethnicity, ability, and ownership according to both judicial doctrine and contemporary scholarship. As these frameworks shift and evolve, the politics of legal identification sculpt our own social horizons. Satisfies AJ required module, cross listed with Women’s’ Studies.
POLS/PHIL 328: Rights. New course offering. This course is an examination of the socio-legal evolution of rights in the United States. Topics include theoretical approaches to rights and rights discourse as well as contextual applications of equality and power involving the Fourteenth Amendment and social movements in the areas of race and ethnicity, sex, gender, religion, education, property, and mobility. Prerequisite: POLS 220. Cross-listed with Philosophy.
POLS/WS 332: Politics of Race and Gender. Existing course cross-listed with Women’s Studies.
POLS 338: Public Policy Process. New course offering. An examination of the American public policy-making process, with emphasis on the stages of the policy process, including agenda setting, policy formulation and adoption, policy implementation, and policy evaluation.
University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, Political Science Departmental Program Review Self Study for AY 2014-15 Page 10 of 25
Public policy issues covered include economic policy, social security and welfare, defense and law enforcement, and environment.
POLS 343: International Conflict Management. New course offering. This course examines a variety of international conflict management strategies that employ diplomacy or coercion, such as negotiation, mediation, economic sanctions, peacekeeping, and humanitarian intervention.
POLS 357: Politics of the Pacific Rim. New course offering. Political and economic development of major states around the Pacific Rim since 1945 and major issues of the region of today.
POLS 428: First Amendment. New course offering. This course will explore the broad scope of the First Amendment from a perspective of public law. We will examine theories and applications of First Amendment freedoms pertaining to the areas of religion, expression, environments, association, and the press. Pre: POLS 220.
POLS 457: US-China Relations New course offering. Studies the development of US-China relations from the 1840s to the present and current issues. Served China-US Masters’ program.
POLS 442: War and the State. New course offering. Theories on wars, the major hot wars in the past hundred years, and why nations go to war.
Course Under Development
POLS 394: International Human Rights. To be offered as a special topics course in summer 2015. This course surveys international agreements on human rights and utilizes a variety of methods to examine the specific issues of genocide, physical violence against individuals in war and peace, and the case of refugees, women, and children.
Credit-Hour Policy
The department is in compliance with the credit hour expectations of the US Department of Education, WASC, and the University of Hawaii system. In political science, each credit hour equates to one hour of faculty instruction and two hours of out-of-class student work. An equivalent amount of work is expected in our directed studies and varying-credit internships.

V. Evidence of Program Quality
Quantitative Data: Major Numbers
The required program review data collected by the Kelli Okumura, the UH Hilo Institutional Researcher, appear in Appendix C. The data compiled do not include this or the past academic year. Unfortunately, Ms. Okumura has been too busy with other projects to re-run more up-to- date data. The next section discusses major numbers in detail, a following section discusses other indicators in the quantitative data report (Appendix C).
The data for major numbers in Appendix C are significantly under-reported in that they do not count double majors (see footnote 2 in Appendix C). Since many POLS majors choose to double major, especially with Administration of Justice, these data do not provide a valid picture. More up-to-date and valid major numbers were gleaned from Star-Data Metrix, and are as follows:
Number of Majors (Fall Numbers) 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 POLS 84 91 95 90 83 67 61
AJ 68 72 88 112 128 125 119
Total 152 163 183 202 211 192 180
Number of Majors (Spring Numbers)
2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 POLS 78 101 94 92 74 61 53
AJ 73 72 95 103 134 118 122

POLS 81 96 95 91 79 64 57 AJ 71 72 92 108 131 122 121
Total 152 168 186 199 210 186 178
University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, Political Science Departmental Program Review Self Study for AY 2014-15 Page 12 of 25
As the above figure and tables indicate, Political Science has seen a decline in majors concurrent with the comparatively greater rise in Administration of Justice majors. The number of Administration of Justice majors has increased, but so has the total number of AJ and POLS majors combined. This means that the increase in AJ majors is not entirely explained by the loss of POLS majors (otherwise the total would be flat). But the increase in AJ majors may explain a good portion of the loss of POLS majors. Obviously, the department is concerned with this trend, and needs to address two questions: Why is POLS losing majors? And, if POLS is losing majors to AJ, why are students choosing AJ over POLS?
In spring of 2014, the department surveyed students in POLS 360, a required course for AJ majors and an elective for POLS majors. While we were able to glean some information regarding career and post-baccalaureate educational and goals, the survey did not tell us much about why students chose the majors they did. Considering this, the department received funding from the division to undertake a series of focus groups in order to generate data on the questions regarding major choice (see above). The following reflects language from the proposal that was funded:
We propose to run three one-hour focus groups in order to uncover students’ reasoning for choosing POLS and AJ as majors. We will also examine students reasoning for choosing against either major. The composition of the three groups would be as follows: One group composed exclusively of POLS majors One group composed exclusively of AJ majors One blended group, including POLS, AJ and other majors
University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, Political Science Departmental Program Review Self Study for AY 2014-15 Page 13 of 25
Each group would be comprised of roughly 12 students in a moderated discussion. We propose using $10 gift cards (perhaps to the bookstore or Amazon.com) as incentives for participation. Gift certificates are easier to administer than cash incentives as the cards incur no tax processing liability. Moderator, room, and analysis will be provided by the POLS department.
We have a number of plausible hypotheses regarding our declines in POLS enrollment and major count. These ideas will be used as prompts for discussion, but will not be forced on students as they will be allowed to address issues we miss. Data gleaned from this study will be used to make changes to reverse our POLS enrollment and major count trend. Data may also be used to develop a more systematic survey of students to further refine our program changes.
Although we are not entirely sure that students have been choosing AJ over POLS, we have a number of hypotheses as to why that might be the case based on anecdotal evidence from student conversations. These include the following: POLS may be perceived as more difficult, due to its required statistics course (POLS 280) and capstone course (POLS 470s), which requires presentations. Some students have indicated that their home country offers only a certain number of scholarships for POLS majors, making it easier for AJ majors to obtain them. Students may perceive more potential job prospects by majoring in AJ rather than POLS. AJ may offer a more feasible 2+2 for our transfer students due to sequential prerequisites and a larger number of lower-division required courses in POLS. It is our hope that we will glean useful data from the focus groups in order to form a strategy to reverse the decline in the number of POLS majors.
Quantitative Data: Other Numbers
The rest of the quantitative data in Appendix C paint a very positive picture of the contributions and efficiency of the POLS department. Each year, the department has increased the number of Student Semester Hours (SSH) generated, from 1,209 in Year 1 (AY 2008-09) to 1,404 in Year 5 (AY 2012-13, see line 2a of Appendix C). Impressively, the department has done so by radically decreasing its cost per SSH, down from $207.63 in Year 1 to $138.58 in Year 5. Some of this has to do with the retirement of Rick Castberg and the passing of Regina Titunik, both of whom drew higher salaries as full professors than their replacements (note: Phil Taylor did not retire until the end of Spring 2013, and is included in these numbers). However, the great return on value that the department has made has to do with tightening its schedule and increasing its average class size.
At the request of the CAS Dean, the POLS department reduced its number of lecturers during recent years. Also during this time, the tightening of the schedule helped to increase average class size, from 21 in Year 1 to 25 in Year 5 (see line 3a, the department notes that these numbers might be artificially lowered by the number of internship and thesis course offerings, which enroll relatively few students, especially the four sections of POLS 391 offered each
University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, Political Science Departmental Program Review Self Study for AY 2014-15 Page 14 of 25
semester). The increases in class size affected faculty and lecturers alike, as FTE/total FTE faculty increased from 13 in Year 1 to 19 in Year 5 (see line 3g).
Even though POLS major numbers are in decline, the department has increased the number of POLS graduates over time. This is true both in absolute numbers and as a percentage of majors graduating (21 to 24 and 30.9% to 33.8%, respectively, see lines 4a and 4b). The POLS department provides great value to the university, increasing its efficiency over time.
Evidence of Student Learning: Content Assessment via ETS Major Field Test
In Spring of 2007, the Department of Political Science applied for and received funding through the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs for implementation of the ETS Political Science Major Field Test (MFT). We are grateful to have received this support. The following report discusses our experience with the exam as well as our view of its utility. Particularly, we compare the utility of the MFT to our own, in-house assessment instrument.

University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, Political Science Departmental Program Review Self Study for AY 2014-15 Page 15 of 25
We administered the MFT to our POLS 470S: Capstone Seminar students in spring of 2007. This is the last class that students are to take prior to graduation, and therefore provides our best class to test in terms of valid assessment. We were pleased to find a strong correlation between students’ departmental GPAs and their MFT score (r = .858, p < .001), but that was about the only useful information we could glean from any of the ETS reports included with the MFT.
Although we had high hopes for the test, especially the additional reports we ordered, we found that it fell well short of our own instrument on a number of counts:
The MFT does not provide a true pretest/posttest option. The MFT tests knowledge outside the domain of that covered by our department. The MFT does not provide data for statistical controls that would permit us to control for important confounding factors such as ESL. We were dissatisfied with the overall quality of data received from ETS. The Custom Comparison Data Report was unhelpful. The Custom Item Information Report was inadequate to our needs.
The in-house assessment instrument used by the department is given to students in our POLS 101 class as well as to our POLS 470 Capstone Seminar. It is the same test. The questions on the MFT change every two years. It is impossible to validly gauge student learning over time if the instrument changes every few years. A true pretest/posttest design is important because we prefer the "value-added" approach (e.g., we are concerned with what our students have learned from our courses, or what difference did we make, rather than student accomplishment which may merely reflect higher knowledge upon entering the university).
We have five faculty in the department, and can therefore do no justice to all of the material commonly covered in most departments. The MFT is a very broad-based exam that covers material in subfields that we do not have faculty teaching. Although the Item Information Report permits us to isolate the questions dealing with the material we cover, we are unable to create a similar set of data for comparable universities in order to make a true comparison to determine how well we cover the material we cover.
Many of our majors speak English as a second language. The data provided by ETS does not permit us to control for this factor for analysis of our own students or to compare them to students at other universities. We are able to do so in our own assessment instrument since it is given to samples of our own students, and not compared to samples of other universities. Moreover, our own instrument allows us to control for core classes taken/not taken by students taking the exam, providing more meaningful data.
The data provided by ETS in all reports was tremendously difficult to comprehend. Moreover, ETS uses asymmetrical measures of assessment indicators. For example, scaled scores are used for overall score as well as three assessment indicators (US Politics, International Relations, and Comparative Politics) whereas simple percentage correct is used for three other indicators (Analytical and Critical Thinking, Methodology, and Political Thought). ETS provides no information explaining how (much less why) the scores on indicators are scaled. ETS did not provide us with data in a digitized format that would have facilitated our own analysis.
University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, Political Science Departmental Program Review Self Study for AY 2014-15 Page 16 of 25
This report permitted us to compare our students to those of other universities. We chose 20 universities (the maximum allowable) that we thought were comparable to UH Hilo. This process was difficult and required an expenditure of time on the part of our faculty. Ultimately, the data we received from ETS was of very poor quality and difficult to interpret. For example, on some measures ETS provided data that averaged the averages across the 20 universities, while in other cases it provided data that lumped all 387 students from all of these universities together. In no case did it juxtapose our scores with the others. And, as mentioned above, we were unable to use this data to control for demographics and ESL in our analysis.
While we were able to isolate the questions that fell within our Political Science curriculum at UH Hilo, we could not compare these on an item-by-item basis with the other universities. This prohibits a between subjects comparison. In light of these concerns, the department ceased using the MFT as an assessment tool, and continues to use our superior in-house instrument.
Evidence of Student Learning: Content Assessment via UHH POLS Assessment Exam
Once we recognized the limitations of the MFT, the department designed its own program content assessment test. Predictive validity of our assessment exam was measured by comparing results to the MFT, which yielded an extremely high correlation (r = .976, p < .01). The test also reflects a higher level of content validity than the MFT, as we designed it to correspond to our program’s curriculum.
The BA in Political Science is intended to be a general liberal arts degree in which students have the flexibility to take upper division courses in several of the sub-fields of the discipline or, if they wish, to concentrate on one or two of those areas. Consequently, the curriculum is quite varied and each student’s course experience is intentionally unique. Furthermore, as the degree is not designed to prepare students for a single profession, and since many of our students have no interest in continuing their education beyond the BA, it is difficult to administer a “one-size- fits-all” learning assessment instrument. However, since students may decide late in their preparation for the degree to enter law or graduate school after graduation, the faculty endeavors to ensure that each is prepared to do so by building on the core requirements of the degree: American politics, international politics, comparative politics, public law, political theory, and research methods (we do not offer a core course in public policy or public administration).
To this end, the faculty requires that all majors complete, in the final year of study, POLS 470s: Seminar in Political Science. This writing-intensive class serves as a capstone course in which students discuss current research trends in the discipline, write a major research paper, and report to the class on the results of that research effort. This enables the faculty (all of whom take turns teaching the course) to assess generally the oral and writing skills of our senior students. This provides an opportunity for general assessment by the faculty of the level of student comprehension and an ability to identify where weaknesses in knowledge may exist.
Political Science faculty collegially created a 64-question multiple-choice test covering all six of the core areas taught by our program. This instrument is intended to be a value-added device; that is, it is administered to all incoming freshmen majors and all students enrolled in the
University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, Political Science Departmental Program Review Self Study for AY 2014-15 Page 17 of 25
capstone seminar so that a comparison of the means of the two groups will indicate what the freshmen knew when they matriculated, what the seniors know near the end of their course of study, and how much learning has taken place in the interim. In other words, the goal is to measure generally how much learning is a result of the department’s teaching. Additionally, the instrument results will be analyzed to determine areas of weakness with a view to revising and improving the curriculum and specific course content. The results are as follows:
The Political Science Assessment was administered to students in the Capstone Seminar (POLS 470) and to students in two Introduction to American Politics (POLS 101) classes during the first week of classes of the Spring semester, 2006. The exam was unscheduled, and students were not told to prepare for it. The students in the Capstone Seminar averaged a score of 63.8 percent, 21.4 percent higher than the students in the intro course, who’s average score was 42.4 (see table below). The difference in scores between classes was statistically significant (F = 460.992, p < .001). While the difference in test scores is impressive, the percentage of correct answers for each group is low due to the nature of the assessment being a “pop” exam with no notice.

Note: * p < .05, ** p < .01, *** p < .001
Because not all of the Capstone students had taken the full complement of core courses, the students were asked which, if any, core courses they had yet to take. We were then able to ascertain if finishing a core course caused a corresponding increase in scores for items on the exam that reflected that core area. The results indicate some interesting qualities about our students (if not the test itself). Prior to taking their core courses, students could properly answer roughly 40 percent of the questions in each field area except one. Students had comparatively more knowledge of American Politics than the other core areas (70.8 percent correct prior to taking the core course). This may have one of four explanations: The exam was given to students enrolled in an American Politics core class, and thus, the students had a pre-existing interest in and knowledge of the subject matter. Secondly, many students take “civics” classes in high school, and these classes may cover some of the material. Third, American Politics topics are more frequently covered in the news than topics from the other core areas. And lastly, the American Politics questions may have been disproportionately easy.
In terms of the difference in the amount of knowledge between the pre- and post-core course groups, students who had taken the core course scored roughly 18-25 percentage points better than students who had not taken the core course. The difference for students who had and had not taken the American Politics core course was less than the other areas, though this may be due to a “ceiling effect”— students had comparatively more knowledge of American Politics than the other core areas in both the pre- and post-core groups (see table below).

A detailed analysis of each question item will need to be completed in order to continue to use the exam in the future. This will include accounting for the high American politics scores and altering some of the questions to reflect changes to curriculum. We are confident that our content assessment exam can be modified and used to provide meaningful assessment in future years and will be utilized in crafting future exam questions.
Evidence of Student Learning: Written Communication Assessment
In a similar fashion to the pre/post design used for our content assessment, the department collected essays from POLS 101 and POLS 470S in order to perform written communication assessment. Three members of the department (Drs. Belt, Marusek and Lee) divided the task of performing the assessment using the university’s written communication guidelines.
On March 2, 2015, the members met to calibrate assessment scoring, and were pleased to find unanimity in their assessment. The members then scored each of the papers with a score from 1- 4 for each element of written communication: Line of Reasoning, Organization & Structure, Content, and Language/Prose/Syntax. Based on these content areas, an average score was calculated, as well as the assignment of a score to the closest integer (1-4).

The results within the content areas and for the total score are nearly uniform. Students in POLS 470S (the capstone seminar) scored over six-tenths of a percent higher than the students in POLS 101 on every content area, and for their averaged and integer score (see table above). The assessment demonstrates the effectiveness of the university’s curriculum in developing the quality of student writing. The department will continue such assessments on a yearly basis.
Evidence of Student Learning: Quantitative Reasoning Assessment
The department of Political Science will be participating in the university’s efforts to conduct quantitative reasoning assessment. The department has recently certified POLS 280: Methods of Research to satisfy the General Education’s Quantitative Reasoning Basic Requirement. Assessment of quantitative reasoning skills using the assessment instrument provided by the UH Hilo Assessment Committee will implemented in this class beginning Fall 2015.
Further Evidence of Teaching Effectiveness and Faculty Quality
Political Science faculty conduct teaching evaluations in all courses every term, both quantitative and qualitative evaluations. Our faculty consistently score above the division norm in most areas. Two faculty, Drs. Belt and Marusek, have won the Frances Davis Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching. In addition, Dr. Marusek is the faculty representative for the Harry S. Truman Scholarship program. She works with interested students, nominates Truman Scholar candidates and guides the nominees through the two-stage application process. The department has produced three Truman Scholars, one since our last program review under the guidance of Dr. Marusek.
The Department of Political Science faculty are highly active in scholarship and service. Most faculty attend at least one national or regional professional conference per year to present research. Faculty Curricula Vitae appear in Appendix D, faculty service commitments appear in
University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, Political Science Departmental Program Review Self Study for AY 2014-15 Page 20 of 25
Appendix E, and faculty Awards and Grants appear in Appendix F. The department has been strongly dedicated to teaching and research, and to bringing undergraduate students into research projects (and a few to even present at conferences).
The department’s commitment to quality teaching can be seen in its many successful student graduates. Several of our alumni have pursued graduate and law school upon graduation, and many have become highly esteemed members of the community. A few examples include Ryan Kanaka‘ole, currently a state auditor and formerly Deputy Corporation Counsel for the County of Hawai‘i; Sylvia Wan, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for the County of Hawai‘i; and Brittany Smart, formerly a Councilmember for the County of Hawai‘i. Since our last program review, the following Political Science students have recently been accepted to, are currently studying at, or are recent graduates of the following post-baccalaureate institutions:
Alexandria Nakao-Eligado, MS in Sustainability Management, Columbia University Jean Kulei Bezilla, Law School, UH Mānoa Micah Chapman, Graduate Studies in Political Science, UH Mānoa Jerry Urtuzuastigui, PhD in Political Science, University of Missouri Jeremy Butterfield, Law School, UH Mānoa Stacy Ruegilin, Law School, Harvard University Taylor Coons, Law School, University of Vermont Bart Henderson, Law School, University of Massachusetts Levi Leatherberry, Graduate Studies in Political Science, University College of London Greg Cleary, Graduate Studies in Public Administration, University of Denver Akira Ruddle-Miyamoto, Graduate Studies in Political Science, UH Mānoa Tesia Chang, MS in Criminal Justice, Chaminade University Bryan Esmaralda, MA Urban and Regional Planning, Eastern Washington University Evangelyn Jelinek, Master’s in Social Work, Colorado State University Rachel Loo, Graduate Studies in Political Science, UH Mānoa Cassi Keawe, Master’s in Public Administration, University of Colorado Donde Leopoldo, Graduate School of Political Management, George Washington Univ.

As the above illustrate, the department has made a priority of getting its students accepted to law and graduate schools. We are pleased that many have been accepted to prestigious institutions, and many with funding. The department recognizes the need to do a better job of tracking its graduates and will work to put together such a program. In doing so, we might use any number of social networks such as LinkedIn, Facebook, or ResearchGate, in addition to more standard practices.

VI. Future Program Goals and Resource Requirements
This section begins with a discussion of progress made by the department and administration in line with the memorandum of Understanding (MOU) negotiated as part of the 2006 Political Science Program Review. The 2006 MOU included six action items and is reproduced in Appendix G. Three of the items were to be executed individually by the administration, two were to be executed individually by the department, and one was to be executed jointly by the department and administration. Of the three items to be executed by the administration, only one has been carried out. The items to be executed by the department and the collaborative item have all been carried out. The MOU is reproduced below with action items italicized. Following each action item is a report on the progress made pertaining to the item.
1. The Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences will create a central fund within the college to assist undergraduates who are attending conferences to present research they have co-authored. Political Science students may apply for these funds just as faculty do.
Administration did not provide this item. Unfortunately, the department has decreased the amount of work it puts into getting students accepted to and presenting at conferences due to a lack of institutional or departmental funds.
2. The Dean and Vice Chancellor agree that data present a strong rationale for another tenure- line position for the department whenever a position number can be secured. As always, new faculty hires are contingent on financial resources and SSH’s generated. If a new position becomes available, the department’s first need is expertise in public administration and administration of justice.
Administration did not provide this item. Instead of providing a sixth position to the department, the administration put a one year lag on a replacement retirement hire, and then made the replacement conditional on serving the Administration of Justice major. The department understands the nature of the fiscal restraints that have faced the university over the past years. However, the conversion of a faculty position to a hybrid position only splits hairs and further dilutes the department’s curriculum. The department still needs an expert in Public Policy/Public Administration.
2. The Dean of the College is working on course releases and summer stipends for department chairs. This is a college issue, not just a department issue.
The administration provided stipends and course releases to department chairs for the regular academic year. There are no departmental chair stipends for summer.
3. The department will produce a Vision Statement and Strategic Plan for the short (3-5 years), medium (5-8 years), and long-term (10-12 years) horizon, including the need for additional faculty lines and the replacement of retiring faculty. The plan will provide the Dean’s Office a rationale and justification for future hires. This strategic hiring plan should be given to the Dean as soon as possible.
University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, Political Science Departmental Program Review Self Study for AY 2014-15 Page 22 of 25
This strategic plan was written and adopted by the department and presented to the Dean of CAS in the fall of 2006. The department has kept its internal commitments to retaining and improving upon program quality (as evidenced earlier in this document). The department has not realized any increase in faculty numbers and has therefore made no progress on developing a Master’s Program in Public and Justice Administration.
Due to budgetary constraints, the department has yet to develop a feasible legislative practicum, program, although the department has greatly strengthened its ties to state legislators in the past few years. Once the funding becomes available, this program could be relatively easy to start up if faculty are still willing to pursue it.
4. The Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs will fund the Political Science Field Test for all majors, and the department agrees to try it out in addition to continuing its own assessment tool.
This test was funded by the VCAA and administered by the department. Results appear earlier in this document (see: Evidence of Student Learning: ETS Major Field Test).
5. The department agrees to request money from the Social Sciences Division for student assistants to help with research.
This request has been routinely executed by the department and funds have been allocated by the division.
Future Goals
In addition to tackling the challenges of alumni tracking and studying and reversing declining major numbers, the department’s faculty will be involved in two other collaborative efforts. The first involves negotiating the Administration of Justice Program Review MOU and complying with programmatic changes. The second effort is the collaboration with an interdisciplinary pre- law certificate.
Another challenge for the department is to provide a more professional online presence. The department’s current web presence is ambiguous, as there are both a university site for the department as well as a departmental site. This results in duplicated and inconsistent information (see the differing sources cited on p. 1 of this document). Worse yet, the Contribute software supplied by the university has caused inconsistencies in web page appearances every time they are updated. Drs. Marusek and Young are working with the division to improve the Political Science and Administration of Justice program websites. The department views this as an important step to presenting a positive public face.
The department sees community stakeholder relations as an untapped feature of our program. The department has many contacts with internship providers as well as graduates working in the community. The department looks forward to working with these contacts in order to sharpen curriculum to align with job skill requirements and to open up sources for potential endowment funding.
University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, Political Science Departmental Program Review Self Study for AY 2014-15 Page 23 of 25
Resource Requirements
Since our last program review, the department stands no closer to its much-needed sixth position. The subfield of Public Policy/Public Administration is currently covered by Drs. Belt and Young, stretching their core areas thin. Since Dr. Belt also teaches the Research Methods core course and runs our internship programs, the American Politics subfield has been particularly neglected. Many courses in the subfield have not been offered on a regular basis, and one course, POLS 337: Politics of Hawai‘i State and Local, has not been offered in many years. The department desperately needs a faculty member so that it can offer curriculum in the Public Policy/Public Administration subfield, which will serve the Administration of Justice major.
Secondly, the department has seen its B-Budget cut drastically in the past few years. In the early 2000s, the department saw its budget increase over time to a high of $17,688 in AY 2006-07. Since that time, the budget has declined to levels lower than at any time in recent memory (see figure below). The departments’ B-Budget allocation currently stands at $6,000.
Each year, the department sets aside $3,500 for the faculty member’s Model UN trip, $3,000 for a stipend for its legislative intern, and $350 for a site visit for a faculty member to supervise the intern. These fixed costs total $6,850, a figure which has exceeded our allocation for the last few years. For the last four years, the POLS chair has had to request supplementary assistance from the division chair for covering these fixed expenses, as well as for funds for replacing computers, printers, for purchasing toner cartridges, and other normal office supplies. Also over the last few years, the department has had no funding to support student travel to conferences or for
University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, Political Science Departmental Program Review Self Study for AY 2014-15 Page 24 of 25
interviews for scholarships (such as our Truman Scholar finalists). The department desperately needs its B-Budget funding restored so that it can fund these items.
Finally, in 2011, the UH Hilo Research Council changed its rules on faculty travel awards. In particular, the council set the rule that “tenured faculty, instructors, and specialists are eligible for one award every other fiscal year” (source: Ken Hon, email to faculty, June 28, 2011). When questioned as to the rationale for this policy, the council stated that senior faculty could better fund their own travel through extramural grants than junior faculty could. However, this policy discriminates against disciplines (such as ours) that do not rely heavily on extramural grants for research. The department points to the need for greater access to conference funding for senior faculty so that they can remain engaged and productive in their discipline. This request further benefits students, who could coauthor research with these faculty members.

Memorandum of Understanding 2006 Program Review of Political Science Department College of Arts and Sciences October 2, 2006
Members of the Political Science Faculty met with the chair of Social Sciences, the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, and other academic administrators on October 2, 2006, to review and discuss topics resulting from the Political Science Department Program Review of 2006. The self-study report by the Department (on file), the report by the External Reviewer, Dr. J. Theodore Anagnoson, Professor of Political Science at California State University, Los Angeles (on file), and written responses by Dean Randy Hirokawa to the External Reviewer’s report were the basis for the discussion. Summary points and an action plan for the Political Science Department follow.
Present: Todd Belt: Political Science Randy Hirokawa: Dean Rick Castberg: Political Science and chair Steve Hora: Interim Vice Chancellor for of the Social Sciences Division Academic Affairs Sevki Erdogan: Computer Science and Ann B.Miser: Assistant to VCAA Chair of Faculty Congress Assessment Phil Taylor: Political Science Committee Regina Titunik: Political Science Brendan Hennessey: Institutional Enbao Wang: Political Science Research
SUMMARY POINTS 1. The purpose of the meeting is to secure understanding and agreement with the department about what it is willing to take action on, and to secure understanding and agreement with the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs about what resources will be committed to assist with the plan of action.
2. The Political Science Department is one of the most productive and efficient programs in the College of Arts and Sciences.
3. The department has chosen to offer a broad range of courses for students so that almost all subfields of political science are represented rather than a more focused, specific program of studies.
4. The course inventory for the department is very high, and each faculty member has five preparations per year. These numbers surpass what is considered a normal load for faculty at many other institutions.
5. The department offers a wide variety of special experiences for students, including internships; simulations; Model UN; the Political Science Club; the national honorary chapter, Pi Sigma Alpha; mock trials; and a senior thesis option.
6. The department offers upper division courses that are taken by many students other than their own majors.
UHH POLS Self Study, AY 2014-15, Appendix Page 1 of 3
7. Funds are meager to support all the extracurricular activities of the department.
8. Teaching expertise in the department is viewed as strong by students who were interviewed by the external reviewer, and several faculty members have received awards for their teaching.
PLAN OF ACTION FOR THE POLITICAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
1. The Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences will create a central fund within the college to assist undergraduates who are attending conferences to present research they have co-authored. Political Science students may apply for these funds just as faculty do.
2. The Dean and Vice Chancellor agree that data present a strong rationale for another tenure-line position for the department whenever a position number can be secured. As always, new faculty hires are contingent on financial resources and SSH’s generated. If a new position becomes available, the department’s first need is expertise in public administration and administration of justice.
3.
4. The Dean of the College is working on course releases and summer stipends for department chairs. This is a college issue, not just a department issue.
5. The department will produce a Vision Statement and Strategic Plan for the short (3-5 years), medium (5-8 years), and long-term (10-12 years) horizon, including the need for additional faculty lines and the replacement of retiring faculty. The plan will provide the Dean’s Office a rationale and justification for future hires. This strategic hiring plan should be given to the Dean as soon as possible.
6. The Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs will fund the Political Science Field Test for all majors, and the department agrees to try it out in addition to continuing its own assessment tool.
7. The department agrees to request money from the Social Sciences Division for student assistants to help with research.

Political Science Department Vision Statement and Strategic Plan for 2007-2019
Vision Statement:
The Department of Political Science’s mission is to promote responsible citizenship, prepare majors for jobs in County, State, and Federal institutions, and qualify our best majors for acceptance to top-notch graduate programs and law schools. In this regard, the Political Science program is designed to provide majors with exposure to a broad range of topics within the field of political science and train students in the techniques and theories used by political scientists to explore describe and explain political phenomena.
The Department aims to sustain and build on what is strong in program including:
high quality teaching; the availability of a number of special programs including internships in County, State, and Federal Political offices, a Model UN club that travels each year to the annual conference at New York city, an active Political Science Club, participation in the national honorary chapter, Pi Sigma Alpha, mock trials, a senior thesis option, and courses that have optional internship components as part of the curriculum (such as our Public Administration and Campaigns & Elections courses); the recruitment and retention of a relatively large number of majors; lectures and other activities that benefit the UHH campus and Hilo community; high quality scholarship; notable accomplishments of political science majors and graduates including acceptance to top graduate programs and law schools and receipt of prestigious awards such as the Truman Scholarship.
The Department’s goals for improving the existing program include
increasing the number of faculty; refining our assessment tools; including students in research projects and conferences; augmenting the practical applications curricula; developing a Master’s program in Public and Judicial Administration.
Our goals and timeline for achieving these goals are detailed in the Strategic Plan on page 2.
UHH POLS Self Study, AY 2014-15, Appendix H Page 1 of 4
Strategic Plan:
Time Goal Details frame 1-3 years 2007-2010 ADD TWO NEW FACULTY POSITIONS

2. PUBLIC POLICY/ 2. Create a tenure track position for an Assistant HAWAII POLITICS Professor of Political Science with specializations in public policy and state and local politics, focusing on Hawaii politics. The new faculty member will also be expected to teach the introductory American politics course (PolS 101).
In addition to enhancing the political science offerings, supporting the Administration of Justice program, and filling lacunae in the Political Science program, these positions will also support the proposed Master’s program we envision which is elaborated below.
