GOV 450Political Psychology1

Required Cognate: Also required is the completion of one of the following Cognates: an additional minor chosen by the student, the completion of a F&M certificate, off-campus study (an accredited summer or semester program), a double or joint major, or advanced foreign language study (at least 3 courses in one language). Note: *For students with AP credits, no more than one 100-level AP Government credit can count toward an elective. For stu- dents who have two AP credits, it is most probable that they would receive a 100-level elective and credit for 101. Note: Prospective majors are encouraged to begin planning for the major by the first semester of their sophomore year. We en- courage students to take GOV 250 no later than the first semester of the Junior year. Students intending to major in both Public Health and Government may not apply more than three Government courses to- ward the second major. To be considered for honors in Government, students must have a major GPA of at least 3.50 at the end of their seventh semester, complete a two-semester Independent Study project and defend it in an oral exam. The project must include an original argument that is placed in the context of other scholarship. An award of honors will be made by the committee for projects that demonstrate originality, intellectual engagement and depth of understanding of the topic. Off-Campus Study: Students considering off campus study should contact the Office of International Programs at least one year before their in- tended program. 363
