POSC 273 Race and Politics in the U.S. 6 credits
This course addresses race and ethnicity in U.S. politics. Following an introduction to historical, sociological, and psychological approaches to the study of race and ethnicity, we apply these approaches to understanding the ways in which racial attitudes have been structured along a number of political and policy dimensions, e.g., welfare, education, criminal justice. Students will gain an increased understanding of the multiple contexts that shape contemporary racial and ethnic politics and policies in the U.S., and will consider the role of institutional design, policy development, representation, and racial attitudes among the general U.S. public and political environment.

POSC 400 Integrative Exercise
The comprehensive exercise is a substantial (approximately 25-30 page) research paper on a topic within American Politics, Comparative Politics, International Relations, Political Theory, and Public Policy. The student should have completed a 300-level POSC course. The usual comps process starts with a research paper from an already-completed advanced seminar, which is revised or used as an anchor to write the senior thesis, with approval and guidance from the instructor, who becomes the comps adviser. The students must also prepare a poster based on their comps paper for presentation in a group forum.
