Each of the following introductory courses is intended to acquaint the student with a particular segment of political science. Each will fulfill 3 credits of the Broad Exposure/Stage 2, Group B requirement or the Distribution Requirement in the social sciences, although only one of these courses may be used for that purpose.
Note: Not all courses are taught each semester. For a listing of courses currently being taught, check the Schedule of Classes.
Virtually all political science courses require significant expository writing. To ensure that students are ready for these courses, they should be enrolled in ENGL 12000 (or its equivalent) or have successfully completed the course. For all 10000-level courses, ENGL 12000 (or its equivalent) is a prerequisite or corequisite; for all higher level (20000-, 30000- and 40000-level) courses, ENGL 12000 (or its equivalent) is a prerequisite.
Students must take 3 courses with a significant writing component as part of the General Education Requirement at Hunter College. At least 1 of these courses must be from GER Stage 3. Political science courses that meet the writing requirement have a (W) designation below. All 20000- and 30000-level political science courses satisfy the Focused Exposure/Stage 3, Group B requirement.
