About Political Science
About Political Science
Students wishing to do an Honours degree or a Major or Minor Concentration in Political Science should consult with a Political Science Departmental Adviser each year in order to devise a suitable program. Proper selection of courses is required if a student wishes to graduate on time.
Procedure for New Students
Procedure for NEW Students
All new students entering the Political Science Program (including Minor Concentrations) are strongly urged to attend an information meeting scheduled at the end of August. The date and location of the meeting will be posted on the web. Attendance will help students prepare for their session with an adviser. It is the student's responsibility to be in Montreal for the meeting. The following brochures are available on the web: Major and Honours Programs in Political Science and Minor Concentrations in Political Science. It is essential to read through these prior to attending the information meeting.
For All Political Science Students
For All Political Science Students
The brochures Major and Honours Programs in Political Science and Minor Concentrations in Political Science are both available in the Department as well as on the web. Students wishing to have courses taken at other universities counted as satisfying program requirements must bring copies of their transcripts and course syllabi to the Director of the Major or Honours Program or the Director of Undergraduate Studies. Students are not accepted into the Honours Program in Political Science until their second year in Political Science; an exception is made for those in Joint Honours Programs.
As course and personnel changes may have occurred after this publication was prepared, students should not use it to plan their program of studies without first consulting the Department Office for updated information.

Advising Information
In the first year of the program (U1), students are advised to select 12 to 15 credits from at least three of the four main fields of political science. U1 students should normally take courses at the 200-level only. However, those in their second term of U1 may, with the approval of their program adviser, take one 300-level course provided that they have a B+ average in their first term courses and have completed the 200-level prerequisite for the course.

All political science courses taken at Â鶹AV are counted in determining a student's standing. (The specific criteria are given in the brochure "Major and Honours Programs in Political Science," which may be found on the Department website /politicalscience/.) To be awarded Honours at graduation, students must be registered in the Honours program in their final year. At graduation, students' Honours standing will be determined by their overall record in the Honours program.

All political science courses taken at Â鶹AV are counted in determining a student's standing. (The specific criteria are given in the brochure "Major and Honours Programs in Political Science," which may be found on the Department website /politicalscience/.) To be awarded Joint Honours at graduation, students must be registered in the Joint Honours program in their final year. At graduation, students' Joint Honours standing will be determined by their overall record in the Joint Honours program.
