As a Political Science major, can I concentrate my course work in a particular area of Political Science such as law, international relations, or American government?
Yes. While as a Political Science major you are required to take certain required courses, elective courses may be taken in one or more subject areas such as law, international relations, American government, political theory, and comparative government. Thus a student interested in studying law might select courses focusing on the judicial system while a student interested in international relations may take courses dealing with diplomacy and international organizations, for example. A concentration in a particular area of political science is not required, however, and is not recorded on a student’s transcript. Also, please note that law schools do not want you to specialize! They want you to have a broad background as an undergraduate.
