Double Major in Political Science

The Faculty of Arts has a number of requirements to qualify for a Bachelor of Arts (Double Major), including the completion of core requirements including English, second language, numeracy/science, humanities, social sciences and two designated "research/writing" courses (one of which may be POSC 2010). As part of their non-Political Science electives, candidates may wish to consider courses with associated content offered by other departments, such as Economics, History, Philosophy, Sociology, or Women's Studies. Refer to the MUN calendar for details.

To graduate with a Double Major, a candidate must have an average of 60% or better in courses required for both Major programs (excluding 1000-level courses). A student receiving 55% or less on any Political Science course at the 2000-level or higher is expected to seek advice from the Department at the start of the next semester to ensure that adequate progress is being maintained.

Students interested in a Double Major should formally declare by the time that they have completed 6 Political Science courses (18 credit hours) to ensure that appropriate course selections are made. Candidates may consult with the Head of the Department or its Undergraduate Advisor to receive advice on Political Science course selections.
