2 IMPORTANT NOTICE: At this time, we cannot add the POL major for you. After priority registration is complete, we will be able to declare the major for you. Please return to this session after priority registration for the forms to turn in to this department. This session is available now for informational purposes only. 2

3 In this information session you will: Review Degree Requirements Review Major Requirements including the seven concentrations within the major Understand fees associated with major Receive information on advising 3

4 Degree Requirements: Overall requirements to complete your degree include completing a minimum of 120 units. At least 42 of those units must be in upper-division ( level) coursework. To graduate you must have a minimum 2.0 GPA in your major, minor, and overall. You are required to have a minor for this degree. A minor is not required for students pursuing a double major. Students completing a double degree are still required to have a minor (i.e., BA degree and BS degree). This is a Bachelor of Arts degree and therefore, a 4 th semester proficiency in a foreign language is required. *If you decide to pursue the Foreign Affairs concentration (discussed later in this session), you will be required to have a 6 th semester proficiency in foreign language. The math requirement for this degree is College Algebra or higher. Please see next slide for a chart that reflects this information. 4

7 Political Science Core Courses Most students take these courses during their sophomore year after completing general education requirements. 1. Econ 200 Basic Economic Issues 2. SBS/PA/POL 200 Intro to Statistics for Social Sciences 3. SGPP 300A Politics, Policy, Governance: America and the World-part A 4.

8 Political Science Major Courses After students complete the intro or core courses, they will then be eligible to take concentration courses in the concentration they have chosen. In addition to these concentration and intro courses, students will need to complete two upper division School of Government and Public Policy Electives. These are courses in POL or PA that are not necessarily part of your set of concentration courses. The major outlines in the next several slides will show these requirements. 8

Examples of foreign experience are domestic internships that are international in scope or study abroad in a foreign country. 15

16 General Political Science The General Political Science option is for students who do not wish to have a specific concentration area. Students would complete the core courses (general political science majors will need to complete 1 additional lower level pol course from POL 201, 202, 203, 204, or 206) and then 6 upper division POL courses from three different concentration areas. This option is ideal for students who would like to receive a wellrounded and diverse background in Political Science rather than focusing on a certain area. 16
