POLITICS AND GOVERNMENT
MAJOR & MINOR INFORMATION
To foster both breadth and depth of knowledge, the department has
designed a special core curriculum for politics and government majors.
Working closely with a faculty advisor, the student selects in each
area the courses best suited to his or her particular interests
and career goals. The department offers a five-course minor as well.
In order to declare a politics and government major, a student
must have either a) a 2.5 cumulative University grade point average,
or b) a 2.0 cumulative University grade point average and have earned
a B in one course in the department.
Major. The major must complete 10-13 courses in the department
consisting of either 110 or 111 but not both, 279, 499 and one course
in each of the following areas:
(I) American Public Affairs (350, 351, 352, 353, 354, 355,
or 356);
(II) Political Behavior (260, 261, 280, 300.7, 358);
(III) International Affairs (300.5, 360, 361, 362);
(IV) Comparative Government and Politics (344, 346, 348,
349);
(V) Political Philosophy (371, 372, 373).
Minor. The minor must complete five courses in the department
consisting of either 110 or 111 but not both, and one course from
four of the five areas above. One of these four must be in the area
of Political Philosophy. Conduct of Political Inquiry, PG 279, can
be taken to fulfill the Political Behavior area for the minor.
Courses in the major or the minor, should normally not be taken
credit/no entry.
All upperlevel courses are numbered in groups according to the
area or topic. The numbers bear no relationship to the difficulty
of the course work.
