Historical NoteReturn to Top

The Political Science Department at Central Washington University was established in 1963. The department dates back to the 1890s when the Washington State Normal School taught courses in American government. In 1939, an instructor was specifically hired by the Normal School to teach political science courses. The department was an office in the Social Sciences Division from 1933 to 1962.
