Health Care?  Immigration?  Climate Change?  Same-Sex marriage?  How do decisions on these and countless other major public issues get made in America?  This course provides the answers by giving students an interdisciplinary introduction to public leadership and policy making in the United States.  Students will begin by exploring important theoretical and empirical studies of leadership styles and the relationship between American politics and civil society.  Then they will examine examples of public leadership and sites of public policy making from the local community to the national capital.  In each section, discussion about specific individuals and issues will be used to illustrate the role of leaders and particular institutions at every level of American public life.  The course will conclude by asking students to blend their understanding of theory and practice in American public leadership and policy making by analyzing an important current issue individually and as a class.  Throughout the course, students will also be introduced to the primary skills of effective engagement in political and civic discussion, deliberation, advocacy, and action. 

-------------------------------

In what ways are you a consumer, a taxpayer, or a citizen? How might your personality preferences reveal good fits for your career choices?

Taught in the classroom as well as through online work, students will bring the theories of the PACE program to the practice of citizenship skill development and career planning. The course will highlight the learning objectives of PACE while exploring individual style, personality type preferences through the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), and individual strengths and values assessments. Students will assess personal goals and the use of PACE courses and their other undergraduate work as preparation for their remaining years of college and for post-college education, career, and political and civic engagement choices. Students will begin constructing personal statements for individual electronic portfolios in this class, to be continued in the PACE capstone course.
