*A new college orientation requirement, completion of the one-credit ACDV 101 course, Transitioning to College, went into effect spring 2010.

Students are required to provide an official transcript(s) to document successful completion of college coursework at another institution(s) in order for this requirement to be waived. Transfer Pattern Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this transfer pattern, students will be able to:
- write clearly on issues of domestic and international politics;
- prepare for active citizenship and begin to develop an ongoing interest in national and global politics with participation as a civically engaged member of society;
- analyze political and policy problems and formulate options and strategies;
- apply internet and traditional library resources to research key local, state, national and international issues;
- demonstrate critical thinking and research skills including the ability to form an argument, detect misconceptions about key issues of policy and politics; and
- evaluate the concepts and theories of major political thinkers, authors and philosophers.
Transfer Pattern Description:
This degree pattern is designed to help students transfer to colleges and universities that offer a baccalaureate degree with a major in Political Science. Beyond the General Education requirements and other degree, program, and elective requirements, this pattern should be considered in light of the requirements of the selected transfer institution. Students should consult with a transfer coordinator or an advisor for information about specific requirements. |
