Profile

HISTORY OF POLITICAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT

Political Science was offered at the subsidiary level for B.A. English and B.A Economics main courses from 1967, and later included for the B.A. History course when it was established in 1981. In response to the increasing demand from women students, the Department sought approval for a Postgraduate Course in Political Science instead of an Undergraduate program. The Postgraduate Course in Political Science Was sanctioned in 1995.  Alphonsa College is the only institution affiliated to the Mahatma Gandhi University and in the State of Kerala to have a Postgraduate Course in Political Science exclusively for women.
