I. Rationale
The world keeps on changing overtime and undergoes an inexorable transformation as visibly seen
in some circumstances or parts of the globe which includes the changing climatic conditions, existence of
de facto states, worsening acts of terrorism and ideological radicalism and extremism, failing states
economies, LGBTs politics of identity, democratization of states, growing number of
narcostates/narcopolitics, unemployment and poverty rates among others. With these changing and drastic
conditions of this contemporary society and the influx of a more advanced and sophisticated world
interconnectedness, it pauses challenges of todays young generations to be more resilient in facing these
intriguing transitions and to contribute substantially for global, regional and domestic prosperity and
development, and to be personally and collectively competitive and critically adaptive.
On the national or domestic lens, the Philippines has recently experienced a dramatic and astounding
changes in its political, social, cultural and economic dimensions. These changes reshape the long
standing perceptions and stance of Filipinos from being conservative and traditional to revolutionary,
liberals, critical and advanced citizenry towards the issues on public policies, foreign relations, domestic
violence and the likes. Furthermore, issues on extrajudicial killings and law enforcements, war on drugs,
federalism, emergency powers, Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) and Enhance Defense Cooperation
Agreement (EDCA) have all played and, to some extent, circumventing traditional norms and customs in
present-day Philippine politics. These hard socio-politico-economic-cultural realities pressed and
encouraged every Filipino to be more active and participative to governments initiatives as well as
heedful against government abuses and lavished and unrestrained use of power and discretion.
Due to the stated present circumstances and to answer the call of citizens empowerment, offering a
Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science is of paramount and of great importance in present-day
Philippine set-ups, where the society needs of a more informed and empowered individuals. This program
is formulated to produce not only informed and empowered individuals but as well as globally
competitive and morally, academically and professionally excellent. Likewise, the students of this
program will undergo research and extension in line with the mission, vision, goals and objectives of
Southern Leyte State University for personal and institutional growth and development. Furthermore, to
validate and enhance learnings, the students are given the opportunities to experience in development
works in sector-based organizations and government agencies including the local government units.
Program Objectives
1. To train students in the language, theories and methodologies specific to the discipline;
2. To expose the students to the current developments in each of the Political Science subfields;
and
3. To equip the students with the necessary skills for political and policy analysis and enable
them to craft the necessary interventions to bring forth desired political changes.

The Bachelor of Arts in Political Science is currently available and offered at the College of Maasin,
Tunga-Tunga, Maasin City, Southern Leyte, a private non-sectarian college, which is more than seventy
(70) kilometers from Southern Leyte State University and more than hundred kilometers from the second
district (Pacific area) of the province of Southern Leyte. Aside from the College of Maasin, the program
is also offered at universities in Tacloban City, Leyte which is two or three times farther than Maasin City.
Offering the said program at Southern Leyte State University in Sogod will allow students, not only in
Southern Leyte but also in neighboring towns in the southern districts of the province of Leyte, to have a
reasonable choice for enrolling in a university which is distant viable and financially equitable, and offers
quality tertiary education that enhances students potentials by providing opportunities to experience the
actual practice of the chosen field.
To further quantify the need for this program in Southern Leyte and Leyte service areas, the Institute
Curriculum Development Committee of Arts and Sciences conducted a survey on the students course
preference during the information drive and presented the results of the same as shown in Table 1.1. The
respondents were composed of graduating senior high school students from the different secondary
schools in the provinces of Southern Leyte and Leyte. They were asked to choose a program from the list
of curricular programs enumerated for future educational advancement. Among the enumerated courses,
BA-Political Science obtained the highest responses (30.2%), followed by BSHRTM (25.5%), BSIT
(15.9%), BSIE (15.0%) and BSCrim (13.4%). The data implies and manifests the need to offer BAPolitical Science in the present locality to facilitate the need and demand of its prospect clienteles as well
as to answer the call and challenges of the contemporary society.
