PSC 113 - Introduction to American Politics: Citizenship in the United States (3 Cr.)
The course teaches students what it means to be a citizen of the United States: the fundamental rights and privileges of citizens, as well as the responsibilities. The course begins with a basic examination of the institutions and structures of the American political system. After establishing these basic parameters, we then move to voting and other forms of participation in American society, including how parties and interest groups link people to their government. Lastly, we explore the responsibilities of government to its people—the basic civil liberties protections afforded to people in the United States. Fall semester. Kasniunas
