Pre-Law and International Studies


In addition to the Political Science major, the department is involved with some other programs as well. Amongst these are the International Studies major and the Pre-Law program.

Susquehanna University Department of Political Science

The Political Science department is a cosponsor of the International Studies major at SU. The International Studies major at Susquehanna is an interdisciplinary major. As such, students take courses that count towards their major in more than one academic department. This flexibility allows students with a variety of interests to design a plan of study geared to their own individual pursuits. The coordinator of this program is a member of the political science department and students should work closely with her to select courses to fit their interests or purposes. Some majors choose to focus on a region of the world (such as Europe or the developing world), others choose a thematic concentration in political and diplomatic affairs or international economic relations.

More information about the International Studies major can be obtained from Susquehanna's International Studies program.

The Pre-Law program is not a major; in fact, it has no required classes, but it is a pre-professional program designed to assist students who may wish to pursue a legal career. The Pre-Law program seeks to guide students down a path that will provide them with the writing skills and critical thinking skills that law schools want in their students. The program is flexible, allowing each student to tailor the program to his or her needs.

More information about the Pre-Law program can be obtained from the Pre-Law Web site.
