This is a sample degree plan for the Political Science and International Relations major for students who complete their first two years at NVCC and their second two years at Marymount. All students must consult with an advisor in making course selections that meet their individual needs. We encourage current NVCC students planning to transfer to Marymount to reach out to Marymount Political Science and International Relations faculty as they plan their courses at NVCC.
