Political science is the study of the theory and practice
of government and politics. Students of politics describe and analyze
political systems and behavior. Baccalaure ate 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
of Arts 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. |
