We
welcome you to the Department of Political
Science on the 13 campuses of the University of Wisconsin Colleges.
We are the pre-eminent transfer institutions of the UW System,
operating under the Regents and the State Government.
It is our task
to teach quality courses and the intellectual skills that students will
need to flourish when they transfer.
Since many of our students are not in the top 10% in their
previous academic life, we are very pleased with data that shows that
our transfer students do as well or better on the four year campuses
than those (often in the top 10-25%) who began their college work
there.
If we go easy on the students, they
will later pay a heavy price, as will the UWC.
Most of the time you will be operating on your own, without the
ability to wander down the hall and confer with another political
scientist. We have become
accustomed to communicating by e-mail, and invite you to ask or
comment to anyone in the department at any time.
Or to all of us. One
reason for this handbook is to try and impart some essential
information and some guidance (for example, syllabi from the UWC and
senior institutions.)
