1.00 - 15.00 Credits
1-15 s.h. The course is designed so that students may obtain credit for work in a practical field in which physics is used, such as engineering or applied physics. Students must meet with the faculty sponsor and internship coordinator before the internship to determine the requirements of each individual program. Students will receive credit at a rate of one s.h. per 40 hours of participation. Prerequisites: JrS; permission of instructor, and passed the College Writing Exam.

3.00 Credits
3 s.h. This course provides an introduction to the common terms and concepts required for understanding international relations and politics in developed and developing nations. Tailored for new majors and non-majors, this course familiarizes students about the comparative analysis of political systems and the study of international politics by exploring topics such as authoritarianism, democratization, elections, human rights, political economy, realism, functionalism, international law, international organization, deterrence, balance of power politics and diplomacy. Required for the political science major. ( LA, HO2) Political Theory Courses
-
3.00 Credits
3 s.h. Designed to provide students with an understanding of the fundamentals of both the philosophy and the practice of political science research. The first portion of the course will focus on how political scientists develop research questions, design and conduct projects, and evaluate their findings. Topics will include: the use of evidence in political writing, fallacy in argument, the distinction between empirical and normative arguments, and the "scientific" study ofpolitics. The second portion of the course will focus on the description and analysis of quantitative data. Students will analyze data using statistical software. ( LA, S2) Prerequiite: SoS or 3 s.h. POLS.
-
3.00 Credits
3 s.h. An investigation of the political and philosophic thought of ancient Greece and Rome, as well as of pre-modern Europe, with attention paid to the theoretical innovations of key theorists, the historical contexts in which those thinkers developed their arguments, and the broader political and moral significance of their works. The course will focus particularly on participatory democratic politics in the ancient Athenian polis and the responses of Plato and Aristotle to democracy. Roman politics and Christian political theology will also be examined, as will attempts by late Roman and medieval thinkers to synthesize classical and Christian principles. Thinkers examined may include Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Augustine, Aquinas, Pizan, and philosophical innovations and traditions. ( LA) Prerequisite: SoS or 3 s.h. POLS.
