Can I take upper division courses even though I am still a premajor?
We do not normally recommend that freshmen and sophomores enroll in upper division courses. However, if you are nearing completion of your premajor requirements and you feel competent in political science and confident enough to face the challenge of more advanced coursework, you may proceed with 300 or even 400 level coursework. In general, we advise you take 101 and 102 before proceeding with Field I and II courses, and 103 before you take Field III and IV courses. Any units you earn as a premajor will apply to your major (see above).
