Provides an opportunity for the student to carry through a project extending over one or two semesters under the direction of a member of the department. Projects are selected by the student and may include areas such as theoretical physics, experimental physics, topical reviews in physics, and topics in the history of science. Emphasis is placed on individual study of the literature and, when appropriate, laboratory work. Prerequisites: Advanced standing. The signature of the department chairman is required to register for these courses. Laboratory fee.

This course is the first in a series of three courses designed to assist students considering law school as an option. In PL 100, students are introduced to a number of career options available to those with formal legal training; students develop an understanding of the educational requirements and work environments peculiar to those careers. The course features outside speakers who can offer firsthand accounts of the legal profession and the law school experience. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor.

1.00 Credits
This course is the second in a series of three courses designed to assist students considering law school as an option. In PL 200, students use American Bar Association Standards to analyze their present and projected programs of study and identify areas of strength and weakness in curricular and extracurricular activities. Students have the opportunity to establish a baseline for the LSAT examination, identify a list of schools of interest, and begin to formulate a strategy for application to law school. Students develop a portfolio to assist them in the law school application process. The course features outside speakers who will discuss the legal profession, the admissions process, and the law school experience. Prerequisites: Minimum 2.75 GPA and at least sophomore-level standing; or permission of instructor.

1.00 Credits
This course is the third in a series of three courses designed to assist students considering law school as an option. In PL 300, students develop an overall strategy for applying to law school. Students identify law schools appropriate to their abilities and interests, examine the components of the law school application, and prepare for the LSAT. Participants also explore the timing of the law school application, day and evening divisions of law school, and career options for law school graduates. The course features outside speakers who will discuss the legal profession, the admissions process, and the law school experience. Prerequisites: Minimum 3.0 GPA and at least junior-level standing, or permission of instructor.

3.00 Credits
3] This survey course provides the foundation for understanding American government as it exists at the beginning of the 21st century. It deals with the organic background and contemporary reality of our federal republic governed under a written constitution. The established structures of government—Congress, president, bureaucracy, and courts—are studied, together with the less formal political structures, such as public opinion, parties, pressure groups, media, and voting—all of which act to grant our government the authority to act. The policies emerging from the systematic interplay of forces from within the government itself, from the states and the people of the nation, and from other nations of the world are studied and evaluated. This course fulfills a general education requirement.
