American Politics

Since 1789, the U.S. has grown from a nation of four million to almost 330 million. Although the interests and concerns of modern society are different than those of the founding generation, we are governed by the same institutions and principles.  PLSC 1 focuses on the enduring principles that have been institutionalized in the structure of government. Particular attention is devoted to the development of the institutions of government and how the scope of their powers has changed over time.     

Rhetoric and Composition (ENGL 15) an intensive, rhetorically based experience in reading and writing that will prepare you both to understand the communications that surround you and to succeed in your own communication efforts. Thus, in this course, we will focus specifically on analyzing verbal and visual texts (our reading) as well as on producing such texts (our writing), always in terms of rhetorical principles. ENGL 15 fulfills 3 credits of the writing and speaking requirement for general education.
