SSR415: CIVICS

Civics courses examine the general structure and functions of the three levels of government as well as compare the American government system to those of other countries. Civics focuses on the roles and responsibilities of citizens to participate in the political process, focusing on the relationship of the individual to the law and legal system, and individual rights. Students will take the Naturalization Test, register to vote, examine contemporary electoral and public policy issues at each level of government, and participate in debate and discussion. Students will address local public policy challenges by working with practitioners in the community.
