† American Government [taught by Laura Olson, Monday & Wednesday evening, 6:00-10:00pm, May 22-June 27th]-- This course presents an introduction to institutions and processes of the American national government. Topics include American political culture, the Constitution, Congress, the presidency, the federal courts and politics. Special emphasis is placed on the role played by the federal bureaucracy in each of these contexts and institutions. Seminar style course meetings feature in-depth discussion of readings and current events in American government and politics.
†† Homeland Security for State and Local Governments [taught by David Krumwiede, Tuesday & Thursday evening, 6:00-10:00pm, July 6-August 9]--This course provides an overview of the essential themes that constitute the emerging discipline of homeland security. It has two central objectives: to assess knowledge and public administration as it applies to critical homeland security domains: including history, terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, national strategies, state and local operations, civil liberties, finances, emergency management, the future of homeland security: and to educate the next generation of public administrators – people who are able to identify and critique assumptions of homeland security regarding policy, strategy, and their own perspectives and who have the ability to translate knowledge and good intentions into effective public administrative actions at the state and local level to secure our homeland.
