The American politics concentration offers students a broad understanding of American politics. The concentration is designed to provide a strong undergraduate social science education in preparation for entry into advanced degree programs and professional careers in public service, private institutions and political organizations in the United States.
Grade Requirement
No grade lower than a “C-” in a political science (POLI) course may be used to fulfill the requirements of the political science major or minor. Students receiving a “D” or “F” in a political science course may continue as political science majors or minors but must either retake and successfully complete the course (with a grade of “C-” or better) or must successfully complete another course that fulfills the same area for the major or minor.
