Political Science (B.S.)


The Political Science (BS) degree is designed to provide students a general background in all areas of Political Science. Within this degree students can take up to 9 hours of internship credit. These courses would take the place of the POLS 3xxx/4xxx on the student’s plan of study. While all students of political science are encouraged to take advantage of internship credit, internship hours are not a requirement of this degree.

No grade below “C” will be acceptable in any Political Science or International Affairs course or any course in the major area for Political Science, Strategic & Security Studies, or International Affairs majors.
