B.A. en Sciences Politiques

Most of the political science coursework required for the major is the same for B.A. and B.S. students, but the major for the B.S. includes a political science research component. The major for the B.S. also requires a set of mathematics/statistics courses, while the major for the B.A. does not.

The B.A. degree with a major in political science offers an option for an on-campus or an online program of study. See Requirements in this section of the Catalog.
