Students concentrating in political science must complete 34 hours
in their major, including courses 2151, 2600 or 2700, 2900, and 4999
(which also fulfills the computer literacy requirement) as well as
three hours in economics (1203, 1204, or 2000 level or above), six hours
in math above 1022, and six hours in History 2501 and 2502.
The nine hours in foreign language must be in the same language.
Alternatively, students may opt to take 12 hours in two foreign languages
(6 hours in each of two languages). If the 12-hour option is
chosen, it reduces approved electives by 3 hours. Be sure that there is
at least one Humanities course at or above the 2000 level among the
electives.
Students must also demonstrate oral communication competence,
either by passing Film, Theatre and Communication Arts 2650 or 2660,
or by satisfying the significant oral component of any course that
includes such a component.
Students with 45 hours or more who have not completed Political
Science 2900 are advised to take that course at the first opportunity.
At least 18 hours in political science must be chosen from courses
numbered over 3000. At least one course must be chosen in U.S. politics:
4170, 4210, 4600, 4601, 4621, 4630, 4640, 4650, 4653. At least two
upper-level courses must be chosen from the fields of comparative
politics (course numbers beginning with ‘47’) and/or international
relations (course numbers beginning with ‘48’).
Students shall select 12 additional hours in humanities and social
sciences (other than political science) at or above the 3000 level and
22 additional hours in any field.
Minor in Political Science
Students must complete 18 credit hours in political science, including
Political Science 2151, 2600, and 2700. The remaining nine hours
are to be chosen from political science courses above the 3000 level.
A 2.0 average must be achieved in these courses in order to earn the
minor.
Minor in Political Science with Pre-Law Concentration
Students must complete 18 credit hours in political science. Political
Science 2151, and 2200 are required. The remaining 12 hours are to be
chosen from Political Science 2450, 4410, 4420, 4440, 4640, and 4860.
A 2.0 average must be achieved in these courses in order to earn the
minor.
Honors in Political Science
Students majoring in political science and wishing to graduate with
honors must meet the following requirements: A cumulative grade
point average of at least 3.5 in political science courses, an overall
grade point average of at least 3.25, and completion of a senior honors
thesis which includes earning six hours of credit for Political Science
4991. Students must arrange for a faculty member in the department
to direct the thesis; and the thesis is to be defended orally before a
committee composed of the thesis director, another member of the
department, and a representative of the honors program.
Curriculum in Bachelor of Science in Urban Studies and
Planning
The Bachelor of Science in Urban Studies and Planning degree
(BSUSP) was approved by the Louisiana Board of Regents in the summer
of 2001. The primary objective of the degree is to prepare undergraduate
students for entry-level positions that assist professionals in
urban planning and related fields in public, private and non-profit
organizations. The secondary objective is to prepare undergraduate
students for professional or scholarly graduate degree programs in
Urban Studies and Urban and Regional Planning or related disciplines.
The BSUSP degree is interdisciplinary in nature drawing on the
strengths of several subject areas to provide students with a holistic
approach to the study of the urban condition. Students select an area
of concentration or focus to complement their degree so as to provide
in depth understanding of a specific urban topic. These areas of student
concentration include: historical preservation, nonprofit leadership,
environmental planning, hazard policy studies, transportation
studies, geographic information systems (GIS), public culture, urban
design and housing and community development. While BSUSP is not
a professional terminal degree, it shares faculty resources with the
Master of Urban and Regional Planning degree (MURP) which is fully
accredited by the Planning Accreditation Board, the national accrediting
body for planning schools.
