Major Requirements
A Bachelor of Arts degree consisting of 43 credit hours distributed as follows:
Core Courses
(16 credits)
Global Processes
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.
Students may NOT double major in Political Science and International Security and Diplomacy.
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.
