Liberal Arts Core<\/a> requirements.<\/p>\nInternational Relations Specialization<\/h2>\n Students graduating after summer 2024 will have the option of declaring an International Relations specialization within the major. To complete the specialization, students complete the regular political science and international relations major with at least 4 of their 7 electives from courses with a substantial IR focus. Specifically: the major with the IR specialization would be 42 credits, or 14 courses. 7 of those 14 courses are specifically required; these are POL 102, 103, 210, 230, 250, 400, and 420 – the same as the regular major. Then, at least 4 IR courses from this list [POL 240, 241, 244, 280, 306, 332, 375, 380, 381, 382, 384, 385, 386, 388] to include at least 1 of these [240, 241, 332]. In addition, any POL (or equivalent) course taken during an approved study abroad program that is being used as a major elective will automatically count towards the IR specialization. POL (or equivalent) courses on an IR topic transferred from another institution may be counted as an IR elective with approval. We strongly encourage students in this specialization to complete at least one semester-long study abroad program; it is possible for students to complete up to 4 total semesters abroad while graduating within 8 semesters total.<\/p>\n
