- Description
- Ten courses are required to complete a Political Science major. Core requirements form a developmental arc and should be taken in order. Great Questions of Modern Politics introduces students to the major. Political Research and Analysis is a prerequisite for the Senior Capstone. Students choose one of three thematic emphasis areas for elective coursework: public service, law and leadership; political change and advocacy; or regional and international security. Alternatively, students may choose a “build your own” approach in consultation with their major advisor and with approval of the department chair.
