- Sophomore Seminar

Catalog description

All PPA majors are required to complete Sophomore Seminar in the spring of their sophomore year. Sophomore Seminar will serve three purposes. First, Sophomore Seminar will provide students with an opportunity to integrate their learning experiences in our three introductory courses. Second, students will gain an understanding of how to conduct research and evaluate political and policy issues through a series of shorter assignments culminating in completion of a substantial policy analysis paper. Third, over the course of the semester, students will develop a coherent plan for an established track of study within PPA which identifies relevant cognate courses or proposes and develops an individualized track of study.
