US Gov and Politics
This course focuses on the philosophical and
institutional foundations of the American political system.
Particularly, students will investigate the various roles that the
Constitution, public opinion, political parties, campaigns and
elections, interest groups, the media, and the various institutions of
the federal government—the President, Congress, Judiciary, and
the Bureaucracy—play in the development of federal public policy.
Throughout the course students will enhance their reading, writing, and
oral presentation skills.
