PSCI 4999 - Political Science Senior Capstone Experience The Political Science Department designed the Capstone Seminar to be a culminating experience for students. As majors, you complete a common set of courses early in your program of study that establishes the foundation of the discipline and initiates processes of skill building. You then branch off into different subfields (American National Institutions, International Affairs, Public-Law, Urban Politics, Public Administration) and take a variety of courses with different substantive and skill emphases in the “middle” of the major. The Capstone provides a venue where you will be able (and expected) to draw upon the ideas and skills you have gained thus far to explore a new and overarching topic or set of related topics in Political Science that has relevance to your futures. Capstone seminars provide an integrative experience that substantively allows you to employ insights and ideas from work in different subfields and includes skill intensive writing, critical thinking, independent research and oral presentation opportunities to apply theories and concepts to new problems and cases, as well as practice in articulating and defending your own views. Prerequisite(s): Students must be seniors to register for the course. (0, ENGAGEMENTS/Senior Capstone)
