Should a student take a second course from among those identified above, the credit hours earned will count toward the 27 semester hour elective requirement.
Majors in political science must, in addition to meeting the above requirements, satisfy the following:
Students may take up to 10 hours in the Political Science Internship Program, but only a maximum of 6 hours can apply toward the political science major. Admission to the Internship Program is selective. Applications are available in the department office and must be submitted to the director, Internship Program, no later than the time of preregistration for the semester of the proposed internship. Students must have accumulated nine (9) hours in political science at time of application.
Students interested in licensure for teaching political science must major in social sciences rather than political science.
Qualified students are invited to enroll in the Honors Program in Political Science. Consult the director, Honors Program in Political Science.
