[Students] Follow-Up: Important Change in Required Political Science Courses

[Paul Lenchner]

1.      The required University Studies courses in Political Science are 
being changed.  PSCI 220 and 221 are being replaced by PSCI 211 and 212.

2.      Either PSCI 211 and 212 or PSCI 220 and 221 may be completed to 
satisfy the University Studies requirement in Political Science.  Students 
who have completed PSCI 220 and 221 or who plan to complete those courses 
do not have to take any additional Political Science classes.

3.      PSCI 220 and 221 will be offered during summer 2007.  One section 
of each of these classes will be offered in fall 2007 and spring 
2008.  After that, they will no longer be offered.

4.      Students beginning their Political Science sequence in fall 2007 
should take PSCI 211.  Multiple sections will be offered in fall 2007 and 
in subsequent semesters.  Beginning in spring 2008, multiple sections of 
PSCI 212 will be offered.

5.      Explanation of the change:  To receive a bachelor's degree from a 
public university in Texas, a student must complete six hours of study of 
the United States and Texas Constitutions.  Two models are used to satisfy 
this requirement.  Some universities and community colleges have separate 
courses in United States Government and Texas Government.  Other 
institutions have an integrated sequence in which specified topics from 
both United States Government and Texas Government are studied in each 
course.  After careful consideration, the Department of Political Science 
has decided it will be beneficial to change from the first to the second model.
