About this course

This course is designed to enable students to develop a sophisticated understanding of the concepts and theories employed in political science. The seminar combines extensive reading, in-depth research, oral student presentations, and intensive class discussion. Topics will be drawn from one of the following areas: American politics, political theory, public policy, comparative politics, or international relations. Students will prepare class presentations and a substantial research paper as part of the course requirements. (POL 4900 may be repeated once for credit as an area elective within the major, provided the two courses cover different topics.)
