Political Science would like to provide each of our majors with an 'applied learning passport' to document their hands-on experiences as they progress through the degree. This includes role playing experiences, local, state and national internships, Model UN conferences, and research projects among others. The passport is a fun way for students to keep track of these experiences and would provide talking points for job interviews as students recognize the skills gained through these experiences. Please contribute to help us launch this new initiative!

Join me and make a gift to Applied Learning Passport
