<p>Both CSS and the Government major itself are outstanding programs. I am a CSS alum myself from 40 years ago and my son is on campus now, and he confirms that CSS is just as rigorous as ever. The Government classes he has taken have been uniformly interesting, challenging and useful to his environmental studies. We have an on campus Albritton Center for Public Affairs and a Certificate in Civic Engagement, to boot. Several Government professors also teach within other programs at Wesleyan such as Environmental Studies, so you do not get “plain vanilla” perspectives. Wesleyan’s Government professors were one reason I was attracted to this school many moons ago (no pun intended as Professor Donald Moon is one of the most popular pros on campus), and to get the history of the department, click on here: [Department</a> History, Government - Wesleyan University](<a href=“http://www.wesleyan.edu/gov/departmenthistory.html]Department”>http://www.wesleyan.edu/gov/departmenthistory.html)</p>
