This Virtual Research Group Workshop will feature papers exploring the curricular structure of undergraduate political science programs, responding to the American Political Science Association’s (APSA) reconsideration of undergraduate education in the discipline. We welcome workshop contributors to illustrate how their programs have implemented APSA’s recommendations, focusing on student learning outcomes and drawing on experiences from a diverse range of undergraduate institutions. In particular, we encourage submissions responding to the 2024 APSA Presidential Task Force Report on Rethinking Political Science Education.
