A student may not declare a political science major until he/she has completed POLS 101 (or POLS 107) and POLS 102. Upon granting admission to the major, the department will assign the student an academic advisor who will help the student plan a program of study for the major.
Students majoring in political science who wish to prepare for a career in public service may select the concentration in public administration. The concentration consists of 27 hours of course work in political science, economics, and accounting.
