Consider independently exploring a topic of interest under the guidance of a faculty member. Once you identify the subject, take time to research our faculty and their publications. It is important to ensure your interests intersect before asking if they will work with you. This work will be graded and may apply to your upper-level Political Science degree requirements.
The instructor will determine which independent studies class and the number of credits appropriate for the particular project you have in mind. Please consult with Political Science advising for questions of how the work might apply to your degree requirements.
