Learner goals and capabilities

Do you need a small group of students to help with legal, business, or non-profit projects?

Students can help gather, organize, and analyze information related to your business and/or legal needs. In small groups (2-4), we can tackle a broad spectrum of different projects. Since this is a course on U.S. foreign policy (POS361: American Foreign Policy) , anything related to this subject will be encouraged.

Organizations can propose specific tasks upon which students agree to work. Please remember that this is a summer course, so the timeline is condensed. It begins June 30th and ends on August 10th.

Expected outcomes and deliverables

All work will be agreed upon between the employer and groups of students.

Multiple student groups will be working with each company. The top student project will be presented to the company contact.

In the end, students will submit and, if need be, present their final report based upon the negotiated work agreement.

As mentioned, this is a summer course, so the timeline is condensed.
