PSC 289T - New Hampshire Primary Mini-Term

Course Units: 1

(Not offered this Academic Year) One of the most important events in every presidential election cycle is the New Hampshire primary. In this mini-term, students will analyze the New Hampshire primary through formal coursework (readings, discussions, papers, etc.) They will also experience the primary by spending three weeks in New Hampshire in late November-early December, shortly before balloting occurs early in the following year (a presidential election year). While in New Hampshire, students will volunteer with a candidate campaign organization, media outlet, or other campaign-related group. In addition, students will attend campaign events and guest lectures (by state officials, campaign staff members, journalists, scholars, etc.). This course is offered every four years consistent with the presidential election cycle. Note:
