GOVT 2306 - Texas Government

Institution:

Tyler Junior College

Subject:

Government - GOVT

Description:

(Texas constitution and topics) Introduction to the theory and practice of politics and government in America at the national, state, and local levels, with special attention to Texas. Topics include political theory, the American and Texas constitutions, federalism, political participation and elections, the institutions of government, and domestic and foreign policies. [NOTE: Because Texas Education Code; Subchapter F, Section 51.301 does not specify how the required course content should be distributed over the required six credit hours, two instructional patterns, represented by the TCCN course sequences GOVT 2301 & 2302 or GOVT 2305 & 2306, have evolved among institutions. Because combination of a course from one sequence with a course from the other sequence may not successfully fulfill the content requirement of Section 51.301, students are urged to complete all six credit hours within a single institution. Inevitably, however, students will seek to combine courses from the two sequences. The following alternative combinations will fulfill the content requirement of Section 51.301: GOVT 2301 and 2305; GOVT 2301 and 2306. The following combinations will NOT satisfy the content requirement of §51.301: GOVT 2302 & 2305 (omits study of the Texas constitution); GOVT 2302 & 2306 (omits study of the U.S. Constitution). Students with credit for GOVT 2302 & 2305, GOVT 2302 & 2306, or equivalent combinations may satisfy the legislative requirement by earning credit for GOVT 2107, a one-credit-hour course providing the required constitutional content missing from these two course combinations.]
