Degree Planning - Help with Choosing UL POS classes - Marlin9276 - 05-18-2024

Hi everyone,

I emailed my academic advisor to get access to view my updated degree audit/progress report. I also have been sent the YourPace catalog and I'm looking at my updated degree audit and realize that the POS 301 European Gov and EU, POS 332 Constitutional Law, POS 371 International Relations and Modern Conflicts and POS 493 Political Science Capstone don't "double-dip" for the requirement of 'Complete 18 credit hours of upper level (300-400 level) Political Science Courses'. 

I have completed 9/18 credit hours of upper level courses (POS 335, 370, 343), which means I still need to complete three upper level political science courses. I am planning on completing POS 377 Modern China and POS 439 Vietnam Wars. That leaves me with one more upper level class to complete. 

To illustrate better, here are all the POS classes listed in the YourPace Catalog and all the bolded ones are the classes I either have taken or am currently taking and then all the italicized ones are the classes I plan on taking.
  • POS 101 American Government
  • POS 211 Intro to Political Thought
  • POS 301 European Governments and the European Union
  • POS 332 Constitutional Law
  • POS 335 Modern Political Thought
  • POS 343 Marxism
  • POS 370 Topics in Non-Western History: Native American History
  • POS 370 Topics in Non- Western History: Arab-Israeli Conflict
  • POS 371 International Relations and Modern Conflicts
  • POS 377 Modern China
  • POS 439 The Vietnam Wars
  • POS 493 Political Science Capstone
So as you can see, this leaves me with only POS 370 Native American History. However, the dilemma is that I'm not keen on taking Native American History. But since it's the only class left that I haven't taken/plan to take, and I need one more upper level class, that means I have to. 

My questions are: since I've already taken POS 370 Arab-Israeli Conflict, can I still take POS 370 Native American History? And are there any other upper level POS classes I can take, or is this just all of them?

I'm going to email my academic advisor about this as well, but I wanted to come here first for help.

Thanks.

Yes, you can take it. Just suck it up and finish it. There are not any other POS classes that I can think of.

Okay, I thought so. Thanks for your reply!
