Political science is the study of the theory and practice
of government and politics. Students
of politics describe and analyze political systems and behavior.
Baccalaureate programs offer courses in areas such as public administration,
public law, international relations, comparative politics, political
behavior, political philosophy, and U. S. government. Students
interested in political science as a transfer major are encouraged
to complete the Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree prior to transfer.
These course recommendations are intended for students who are
undecided about a transfer school. Students who have selected a
transfer school should consult the catalog of that school and an
academic advisor for requirements appropriate to the first two
years of study. College catalogs and transfer guides for many four-year
colleges are available through Career Services. |
