POLT 105 - American Government: The New President’s Prospects for Success


Semester Offered: Second Semester
Credits (Range): 4 hours
Attribute: 4SS, WR

The 2008 elections promised policy change on many topics: the economy, Iraq, the environment, health care, and politics itself. Through an examination of previous presidential transitions and honeymoons and though consideration of the constraining effects of institutional and cultural factors – and the president’s ability to overcome these constraints – this course will evaluate the new president’s prospects for success. Required research projects will evaluate prospects for success on topics of the student’s choosing. Enrollment limit: 120.
Instructor: P. Dawson
