The major in political science requires the completion of 13 courses (39 credits)
including:
- 50:790:101 Introduction to Politics
- 50:790:102 The Study of Politics
And at least two courses from each of the three areas of concentration:
- American politics and public policy
- International politics
- Political theory and methodology
These eight courses must be in-classroom courses and may not include internships, independent study, study abroad trips, etc.
Nonclassroom courses such as internships and independent study may count toward the 39 credits, but a student may take no more than 9 of these credits to complete the major:
50:790:394 Honors Research may be taken in addition to these 9 credits. In addition, students may take up to two courses online, provided they obtain prior approval of the department chair. All other courses must be regular in-class offerings.
Only grades of C or better will count toward fulfillment
of the requirement for all 39 credits toward the major, and at least 15 of these credits must be taken at Rutgers.
