I'm interested in the Political Science major at UW-Madison. What are the academic requirements to declare the major, including required course types and total credits? Also, I'd like to know when applications are typically open for the Political Science Peer Mentor program.
Navigate to polisci.wisc.edu. Locate and access the 'Major Requirements' page to find the academic requirements for declaring the Political Science major. Return to the homepage. Open the 'Undergraduate Program' dropdown menu. Select 'The Student Experience' link. Locate the 'Be a Peer Mentor' section and identify the typical application period. State both the identified major requirements and the peer mentor application period.
List the specific course requirements for declaring the Political Science major, including: - At least one course in three of the subfields: American Government, International Relations, Comparative Politics, Political Theory. - At least one research methods course from: PS 170, PS 270, PS 274, PS 348, or PS 373. - At least 15 credits of upper-level work (300 or above). - A total of at least 30 credits within the Political Science Department. State that applications for the Political Science Peer Mentor program are typically held in the Spring.
