GOVT 4000

Course information provided by the 2015-2016 Catalog.

Major seminars in the Government department are small, advanced courses that cover an important theme or topic in contemporary politics in depth. Courses place particular emphasis on careful reading and classroom discussion, and students can expect to write a significant research paper. The enrollment limit is 15 students. These courses are open to all Cornell students, but preference in admissions is given to seniors over juniors, and to Government majors over other students.  Topics vary by semester and section.


Permission Note Preference given to: Government seniors and juniors.

When Offered Fall, spring.
