IMPORTANT NOTICE TO POLITICAL SCIENCE STUDENTS

(This includes POLS majors, POLS minors, Social Science Secondary Education and American Government/Political Science Teaching Endorsement Students)

Next year the curriculum at the University and in the Department of Political Science is changing and we are doing our best to make sure it does not impede your progress to graduation. Our course numbers and our prerequisites will be changing. In order to be able to graduate under your catalog and become exempt from these prerequisites you need to complete POLS 101, 102, 141, 231 by the end of Spring 2012 semester. With the exception of POLS 101, these courses will NEVER be offered again so you must take them THIS spring to keep on track for a timely graduation. We highly recommend you register accordingly. Please contact the Department of Political Science if you have any questions.
