American politics focuses on five subfields: national institutions, processes and behavior, political thought, federalism and intergovernmental relations, and constitutional law and judicial politics. Students begin their study by taking a wide ranging core course, American Politics , that surveys these subfields, covering classic works and new cutting edge material and highlighting controversies in the literature. At the same time, students can choose such from foundation courses as the Presidency or Congress, and later move on to research seminars on topics including Social Movements, the American Welfare State, or American Political Development, in which they undertake projects that may serve as the basis for a doctoral dissertation, conference paper, or published scholarly article.
