POLS : Portfolio
3.00 Credits
Virginia Wesleyan University
DR. LAWRENCE D. HULTGREN, Director PORTfolio is a selective four-year program that allows students to integrate their college education with offcampus experiential opportunities. The purpose of PORTfolio is to provide a curriculum through which students can build the foundation for the knowledge, attitudes, and skills that are necessary for life-long personal satisfaction, professional success and civic responsibility. By dissolving the wall separating academics from the world outside, it connects liberal learning with the surrounding community. Each student in the program maintains and continually updates an electronic portfolio that documents her/his four years at VWC. Students apply and are accepted as new in-coming freshmen. The program includes at least one specially designed seminar a year, an internship and Winter Session courses for externships and service learning. Completion of the program satisfies VWC's computer literacy and oral communications requirement as well as other General Studies requirements. The program is taken in addition to one's major.

POLS 216 /316: Comparative Politics:Communism in Transition-The Former Soviet Union
3.00 Credits
Virginia Wesleyan University
Examines Russia and the former Soviet Union. These transitional regimes offer excellent opportunities to study the problems and prospects for radical economic and political reform and the hazards of reactionism in societies previously dedicated to Communist economic systems and non-democratic, non-parliamentary political systems. We focus particular attention on the challenges posed by rebellious national groups and chronic economic crisis. Also, we examine the relationship of ideology to government policy and the ways in which those regimes have reinterpreted such traditional Western political values and institutions as constitutionalism, the rule of law, natural and civil rights, participatory democracy, and the representation of interests.
