Political Science Policy for Study Abroad & Away Credit Transfer
If you are interested in using a course taken while studying off-campus toward a major/minor in Political Science or one of the joint majors in which Political Science is a participant, you should:
- Declare your major and consult an advisor in the Political Science Department, if you have not already done so.
- Talk to your departmental advisor about courses in the intended off-campus study program that might satisfy requirements for the major or minor in Political Science or for Political Science requirements for one of the joint majors.
- While students can and should come up with a few options for courses to take while off-campus, please note that the Political Science department normally accepts only one unit taken on study abroad/away to fulfill (replace) a Political Science requirement, per semester away.
- Once you determine with your advisor which are the best course options for your time studying off-campus, you can submit an official course approval request using the Summit system, or add one of the pre-approved courses already in Summit. Please note, you are REQUIRED to upload a syllabus to new requests (a course description alone is not sufficient).
