    • 9 credit hours: POLS Y103, POLS Y205, and POLS Y215
    • 3 credit hours chosen from POLS Y217 or POLS Y219

Transfer students only: Transfer students from either another Indiana University campus or from another institution must take a minimum of 9 credit hours of 300- to 400-level (junior-senior) political science courses at IUPUI. These courses must be of regular classroom format (not readings or research); they may include a seminar, if needed.
