课程名称:B.A. in Political Science with an Interdisciplinary Concentration
授予学位:学士学位(Bachelor degree)
授予机构:Yale University
学院:Yale College
课程介绍:
Students of the political science major may choose an interdisciplinary concentration, which allows them to pursue an area of study that crosses conventional disciplinary and department boundaries. Examples of interdisciplinary concentrations are international studies, urban studies, health politics and policy, and political economy. Students choosing such a concentration are required to take twelve term courses toward the major, at least seven of which must be in the field of concentration. As many as three courses in the concentration may be taken in other departments, with the approval of the director of undergraduate studies. In addition to taking seven courses in their field of concentration, interdisciplinary concentration majors must take two courses in each of two other fields in the department. The senior requirement is the same as for the standard major, with the proviso that the essay must be written on a subject that falls within the field of concentration.
国际学生入学要求:
