Note:

Students may count up to 3 hours of POLS 4830 , 3 hours of POLS 4800 , and 3 hours of POLS 4860  toward the total of 21 hours required for the minor, if needed.

All Political Science courses— as well as HIST 3230 , PHIL 3200  and WGS 3050 —count toward the total hours required for the political science major and minor. However, none of these courses, if they are being counted for the political science major or minor, may count toward another major or minor. Similarly, if any of these courses are being counted for a major or minor that is not political science, they cannot be counted for the major or minor requirements of political science.
