By the Numbers
The Department of Political Science offers courses in the fields of
American Politics, Comparative Politics, Political Theory, and
International Relations. We also offer courses in Methodology.
- "X"-denominated courses (ie: G6601x) are courses being offered in
the fall semester. "Y"-denominated courses (ie: G6403y) are courses
being offered in the spring semester.
- Undergraduate courses in Political Science are numbered 3999 and below. These courses are not open to graduate students.
- Undergraduate seminars: You may not pre-register for these courses. You may enroll in
them only with permission of the instructor on the first day of class. Please see here for detailed seminar registration guidelines.
- all sections of 3911 and 3912 are seminars in Political Theory
- all sections of 3921 and 3922 are seminars in American Politics
- all sections of 3951 and 3952 are seminars in Comparative Politics
- all sections of 3961 and 3962 are seminars in International Relations
- Graduate courses in Political Science are numbered 4000 and above.
However, 4000-level courses are mixed-level lectures, open to both undergraduates and graduate students.
- Except where indicated graduate courses are numbered as follows:
- x2xx courses are in the subfield of American Politics
- x4xx courses are in the subfield of Comparative Politics
- x6xx courses are in the subfield of Political Theory
- x8xx courses are in the subfield of International Relations
- Methodology courses do not follow this numbering system.
-
With one or two exceptions, courses at the 6000-level are graduate
"field surveys." These courses are intended for PhD students in
Political Science. Other students should obtain the permission of the
instructor before registering
- 8000- and 9000-level courses are graduate colloquia and seminars; enrollment in these courses requires instructor permission.
- If the course number begins with "8" (eg: 84145Y) rather than
with a letter (eg: V1601, C3930, W4210, G4415, U8715, L9823, etc.), the
course is cross-listed in another department. The second number will
indicate the course level. Thus 84145Y is a 4000-level course
cross-listed in the Philosophy Department, not a graduate colloquium
(8000-level).
