Welcome to the Department of Political Science

100-level POL courses are designed to introduce students to different approaches to studying politics and to some of the theories and concepts employed by political scientists. No 100-series course is a prerequisite for upper-year POL courses; students who choose to follow various POL programs are not expected to take any particular combination of 100-level courses.

The specific content of any 100-level course and the approach taken in it will vary from year to year depending on the instructors. For example, in one year POL114H5 might focus on international relations and in the following year it might look in detail at a particular region of the world. Similarly, in one year a course might be taught through extensive use of films and novels and the next year it might rely primarily on academic texts.
