The political science major offers an undergraduate education in the liberal arts tradition, preparing the graduate for a variety of careers by emphasizing the acquisition of skills in communication and analysis and by encouraging independent thought, tolerance, and informed interest in current affairs. More specifically, the study of political science provides background for careers in government at the local, state, and national levels; in international organizations; political campaigns; interest groups and lobbying organizations; journalism; business; and the law.

Computer Skills Competency

All undergraduates at Florida State University must demonstrate basic computer skills competency prior to graduation. As necessary computer competency skills vary from discipline to discipline, each major determines the courses needed to satisfy this requirement. Undergraduate majors in political science satisfy this requirement by earning a grade of "C–" or higher in CGS 2060, CGS 2064, or CGS 2100

State of Florida Common Program Prerequisites

The state of Florida has identified common program prerequisites for this University degree program. Specific prerequisites are required for admission into the upper-division program and must be completed by the student at either a community college or a state university prior to being admitted to this program. Students may be admitted into the University without completing the prerequisites, but may not be admitted into the program.

At the time this document was published, some common program prerequisites were undergoing revision. Please visit http://facts23.facts.org/florida/facts/Home_Page/College_Students/Transferring/Common_Prerequisite_Manual for a current list of state-approved prerequisites.

The following lists the common program prerequisites or their substitutions necessary for admission into this upper-division degree program:

1. POS X041
2. POS XXXX or INR XXXX or CPO XXXX

Requirements for a Major in Political Science

A political science major consists of thirty semester hours in political science with a grade of "C–" or better in each course, with the following restrictions:

• At least twenty-one semester hours in courses numbered 3000 and above
• At least twenty-one semester hours in an assembled classroom (as distinguished from individual credit for honors, directed studies, and internships)
• At least fifteen semester hours in an assembled classroom at Florida State University (may include courses taken through the study abroad program).

The political science program includes five subfields of study: American government (course prefix is POS), comparative politics (CPO), international relations (INR), public policy (PUP), and public administration (PAD). PAD courses are offered by the Askew School of Public Administration. ISS 2937 may count as a political science course if the instructor is a faculty member in political science.

Majors must take at least three introductory courses, POS 1041, and two additional courses chosen from: CPO 2002, INR 2002, PUP 3002, and PAD 3003.

Note: CPO 2002, INR 2002, POS 1041, and PUP 3002 are prerequisites to most of the upper-level courses in their respective subfields.

Majors also must take at least six semester hours in any three subfields. The introductory courses listed above can be counted toward this subfield requirement. Only those courses listed under the subfield headings below can be used toward that subfield (i.e. courses listed under the "Others" section, though having a course prefix of POS, do not count towards the American Government subfield). Majors may verify whether selected courses will count toward major and subfield requirements with the department's Academic Coordinator.

POS 3713 Understanding Political Science Research is required of all majors. This course should be taken as early as possible in the student's academic program, and no later than the first semester of junior year (prior to the completion of seventy-five credit hours).

No student who has accumulated three or more grades below "C-" (D+, D, D-, F, U) in political science courses taken for credit, at Florida State University or elsewhere, will be permitted to continue toward a degree with a major in political science.

Political science majors are required to have a minor or second major and to meet the requirements stipulated by that department or program. Public administration is not permitted as a minor because classes in that area count toward the political science major.

Honors in the Major

The department offers a program of honors in the major to encourage qualified juniors and seniors to undertake independent and original research as part of the undergraduate experience. For requirements and other information, see the "University Honors Office and Honor Societies" chapter of this General Bulletin.

Internships

An optional internship in political science is designed to allow students to earn up to six semester hours of credit in political science while also garnering practical experience in government and politics. The prerequisites for internship are: completion of at least sixty semester hours; completion of fifteen semester hours in political science with a "C–" or better, including POS 3713; an overall grade point average of 3.0 or a GPA of 3.0 in political science courses; and permission from the department. Internship credits taken through the Askew School of Public Administration, International Affairs, or Interdisciplinary Social Sciences cannot be counted toward political science major or minor requirements.

For complete details, interested students should contact the department.

Requirements for a Minor in Political Science

Students majoring in other departments or programs may minor in political science with fifteen semester hours of political science courses with grades of "C–" or better. A maximum of six semester hours of PAD and/or PHM prefixes combined may be counted toward the minor. At least nine semester hours must be at the 3000 level or above, and at least six of those must be earned at Florida State University.
