Choose 15 credits from the following courses:
Students may take one Internship (PSCI-480X) toward the requirements for the major and apply the credits to either Global Processes or Regional Studies.
One international travel course (such as ART-307X) or cultural exploration course (such as FREN-305X) may be used toward the Regional Studies requirement.
Political Science majors may minor in Global Studies, but the 15 credits from non-core areas must be taken in disciplines other than Political Science.
Students pursuing the major are strongly encouraged to study abroad, participate in the BC2DC program, and explore a minor relevant to their area of interest (world languages and cultures, economics, history, business, philosophy, and religion, etc.), and to participate in an internship. Relevant internships through PSCI-480X earn credit toward the major.
