Courses and Academic Work

As Hofstra prepares to host a presidential debate in October 2012, our faculty are looking at ways to engage students and prepare them for the unique opportunities that hosting a debate brings. Along with the special events, internships and projects that hosting the debate brings, many academic departments are offering special courses that study issues, the media, history, current affairs and political science relevant in the current election cycle.

More courses will be added as they are developed. Check back for updates.
