I declared my Political Science minor this week, since I was finishing my Honors contract. I have only taken one Political Science class, which was PS 501 The American Presidency (which I highly recommend, by the way), although I have taken many politically-oriented classes. There are a number of PS Minor focuses and a General Political Science minor. I told my advisor I had just taken a general class, but I was really interested in international politics. He said general was the way to go because it’s so flexible. I basically could pick any classes I wanted. This fall I will be taking Foreign Policy Decision Making, per his recommendation. I am also planning on taking Government and Politics of China, and the rest is sort of up in the air. I’m getting very excited to take these classes, though. I’m finishing up my GEC’s and almost my whole Communication major this year, so it will be a big chunk of next year, but I think it will be a great opportunity. I can’t believe I am already planning my final year of classes!
