During their final semester in the program, students are expected to submit an EPortfolio and receive a passing grade. The EPortfolio asks students to assemble artifacts, assignments, and other text, video, or audio materials that demonstrate analytical, conceptual, communication, and professional skills in line with the four program goals and related student learning outcomes (SLOs). Students will be asked to write a reflection essay explaining how the various artifacts included in their EPortfolio illustrate a particular set of skills and knowledge outlined by the SLOs. This is an opportunity for students to reflect on their time in the Political Science graduate program, and the skills and knowledge they have gained.
Required components, details, and resources are included in the EPortfolio manual.
Please note that students must receive a passing grade on their EPortfolio in order to graduate. Students may revise their EPortfolio one time, if necessary, in order to obtain a passing grade. However, under no circumstances may a student revise their EPortfolio a second time. Successful passage of the EPortfolio is a prerequisite for completion of the degree.
