PSCI 100 - Foundations of Political Science: Democratic Processes in America

Credits: (3)
This is an introductory level course designed for the first year students. In this course, we examine the American political system, including the Constitution, Congress, the presidency, the courts, federalism, elections and campaigns, and political parties. Selected contemporary issues in American politics are also examined. In this course, we emphasize how to think like a social scientist and, therefore, this course fulfills the social sciences requirement for the core curriculum. (Fall and some spring semesters)
