HIST 3328 History of the American Presidency
This course will examine the evolution of the presidency and executive power from Washington's inauguration until the present. In addition to surveying the evolution of presidential authority, it will also examine how certain figures have reshaped executive power; how the media has transformed the role of the presidency and presidential accountability; and how information technology has altered the relationship between the president and her/his constituents. Individual instructors may choose to focus a portion of the course on one or more individual presidents while retaining an overall comparative, analytical element.
