政治学文学士

政治学专业的设计旨在最大程度地提高学生的灵活性，使他们可以专注于自己的兴趣而学习独特的课程。政治科学本科专业的准备要求完成四门课程，向学生介绍政治概念并提供分析和批判性思维方面的培训：POLS 101、102、103或104，以及统计或逻辑课程。学生必须在这四门课程中获得C或更高的成绩，并且总GPA为2.4或更高，才能从预科专业过渡到主修专业。专业学生至少要修读九门政治学高级课程，并且在四个子领域（政治理论，美国政治，比较政治和国际政治）的每个领域至少上一门课。可以从任何高级政治学课程中选择另外四个选修课
The Political Science major is designed to maximize flexibility for students so they can pursue a unique course of study that focuses on their interests. Preparation for the political science undergraduate major requires the completion of four courses which introduce students to political concepts and provides training in analytical and critical thinking. Students need to receive a grade of C or better in these four courses and have an overall GPA of 2.4 of higher in order to move from the premajor to the major.<br>Majors take a minimum of nine upper division courses in Political Science with at least one class in each of four subfields (Political Theory, American Politics, Comparative Politics, and International Politics). Four additional electives can be chosen from any upper-division Political Science courses. In their senior year students complete a capstone, which can either be an internship, thesis, or 500-level course. Even though it is not required many Political Science majors obtain a minor, as the flexibility of the major allows students to complete a minor (or in some cases a second major) and still graduate in four years.
