Major Requirements

The undergraduate political science major is designed to give students a well-rounded background in the social sciences and to prepare them for a variety of fields that require a thorough knowledge of politics. These fields include law, government service (federal, state, local), teaching, business, publishing, social service, and other careers in public affairs. The department has an internship program designed to enable students to combine practical experience with academic work. The department also offers graduate work leading to the master's degree.

The major at NCAS requires 36 credits in political science that must include:

  21&62:790:201  American National Government (3)

  21&62:790:202  America and the World (3)

  21&62:790:203  Introduction to Comparative Politics (3)

At least 3 additional credits in each of four fields: (a) American government and politics, (b) comparative politics, (c) international politics, and (d) political theory (21&62:790:371,372, 375, or 376). A list of which courses fall under each field is available in the department office.

Enough additional credits in political science to make a total of 36 credits.

At least 12 additional credits from three of the following fields: anthropology, economics, history, psychology, sociology. However, no more than 3 of these credits may be in history, and those credits must be in addition to the general history credit requirement at NCAS and UC-N.

The major at UC-N is identical to the one at NCAS except that the number of credits required is 33.
