Choose four courses, for interdisciplinary inputs to policy study and applications of policy analysis principles. No more than two courses (8 sh) with the same subject prefix. No more than two interdisciplinary electives at the 100 level; minimum of two interdisciplinary electives at the 300/400 level.
Some courses in the Electives list carry prerequisites or other registration restrictions; see Catalog course descriptions for details. If these courses are selected as electives, their prerequisites increase the number of hours for the major. Such courses may be most appropriate for students double-majoring in Policy Studies and the subject areas for these courses.
It is recommended that policy studies majors, in consultation with their advisors, select electives around an informal, interdisciplinary concentration to develop a depth of policy-relevant knowledge in a particular area.
Up to eight PST internship hours may be applied to the major.
