World Politics BA

The World Politics major is designed to educate students about governments and political systems of many different nations and the interactions among them. It will prepare students for careers in international affairs in the public, private, and non-profit spheres. The program allows students to study the regions of the world that most interest them but also provides broad coverage of international relations and comparative politics.

To ensure you receive a well-balanced education at MSU, PLS majors must satisfy the requirements of three separate units:

University
College of Social Science
Department of Political Science (PLS-General, Pre-Law, World Politics, or Public Policy)

You must meet the graduation requirements of each unit. In addition, you will need to choose elective coursework to achieve the minimum number of 120 credits for a degree.

Additional information about the requirements may be found in the Academic Programs Catalog on the Office of the Registrar website.
