Graduate Seminars focus on current issues preparing the participant to return to their classroom with a renewed perspective on the issues and the ability to enrich curriculum with first hand knowledge of political theory and practical experience. In the past, seminar topics have included: Terrorism The American Presidency The Judiciary The Congress Nearly 300 teachers, from all 50 states, each year take the fully accredited seminars and workshops.
