Deadline to register
The deadline to register in the Department of Politics as well as to choose your major online is Tuesday, April 21.
Students who submit late requests for admission to the Department or who wish to transfer into it will be accepted only if the Department can provide adequate supervision for junior and senior independent work.
Junior Workshops
In early May, concentrators in the Politics Class of 2011 will receive an email with instructions on how to designate junior workshop preferences online via Blackboard.
To view meeting times and descriptions for these workshops, go to: http://www.princeton.edu/politics/undergraduate/courses/jrworkshops/.
Other information
Sophomores electing to enter the Department of Politics must have completed two Politics courses on a graded basis before the end of the current academic year. Courses taught by Politics faculty but that are not formally listed or cross-listed with the Department may also be used as a prerequisite. All courses to be used to fulfill departmental requirements must be taken on a graded basis. The Political Economy program has additional entry requirements.
The Department maintains a list of all cognates approved by the departmental representatives for each student. The cognates must be approved during the semester in which they are taken (no later that the last Friday of classes). Cognate courses should not be at the introductory level. Cognates normally would not be used to satisfy primary, secondary, and third field requirements.
Students who wish to combine the study of politics with the study of another discipline or a specific geographic area may design a program allowing them to count three cognates as Departmentals. Politics and religion, politics and psychology, public policy and bioethics, and the politics of the Near East are examples of such programs of study. Individual programs must be approved by a Departmental Representative. Normally, a student must submit a written proposal to a Departmental Representative by the end of the junior year. The proposal should demonstrate how the three cognates relate to one another and form a coherent interdisciplinary program.
Students must complete a course satisfying an analytical requirement by the end of the Fall semester of the junior year. A set of courses satisfying this requirement is maintained by the Department. In exceptional cases, a Departmental Representative may approve delaying the completion of this requirement until the Spring semester of the junior year.
Each sophomore must enroll in a Fall Junior Workshop; instructions on how to indicate your workshop preferences will be emailed in early May. The Fall Junior Paper will be written in the workshop, and the workshop leader will serve as the advisor for the Fall Junior Paper. The junior workshops are not courses and do not count toward satisfying departmental requirements.
