Admission Course Requirements
Prospective majors should enroll in all three introductory courses, or their honors equivalents, in their first two years.
Admission to the Major
A grade-point average of 2.3 in the designated admission courses is required for admission to the major. After this requirement is met, students should apply to the major by filling out a Major Declaration form, available at the main departmental office. Upon verification of the required grade-point average, a departmental representative signs the form. Students must meet with departmental advisers to declare the major. Faculty advisers are listed by their fields of expertise on the political science undergraduate Web site, www2.ku.edu/~kups/undergraduate. Students are strongly urged to apply to the major by the beginning of the junior year. Suggestions for completing the political science major in a timely manner are found on the Web site. The University course repeat policy will apply to the GPA calculation.
