New in 2007, World Affairs Seminar participants may apply to earn 3-University of Wisconsin-Whitewater academic credits by enrolling in
PoliSci147: World Affairs Seminar: On The Edge
This new college level course is restricted to World Affairs Seminar participants. Under the direction of Dr. Jane Gottlick and her colleagues in the Political Science Department of UW-W, enrolled students will start course work (reading and on-line discussion) on June 1st. They will then spend the week of June 21-27 on campus as Seminar participants in separate discussion groups. After returning home, students will complete the course work (email, D2L, on-line discussion and written work) in the following 3 weeks.
Course Syllabus - Coming in early 2008.
