More information
is also available on the World Wide Web at: http://web.polisci.ufl.edu/.
Information about the Academic Advising Center for the College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences can also be found on our homepage at: http://www.advising.ufl.edu/.
From this site you can find information about all majors or minors in the
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. This page also contains many
useful links around campus and allows students to ask questions of an academic
advisor via e-mail. Students can check their academic records, register
for classes, and run a degree audit for any undergraduate major through
ISIS located at: http://www.isis.ufl.edu/
.
Native students will
be permitted to change majors provided they are on-track according
to the minimum progression standards detailed in the undergrad catalog.
If you are not on-track for the appropriate semester, an academic
advisor in the AAC can assist you in a plan that will allow you to be admitted
to the major of your choice or discuss an alternate plan. All students
wishing to change to a major in Liberal Arts and Sciences must first
discuss their plans with an academic advisor in the AAC. Students
wishing to change to a major outside of the CLAS must contact the other
college directly.
The Academic Advising
Center is responsible for acting as an information and referral center
to provide faculty advisors and students with timely and accurate information
on university-wide requirements, policies, procedures, and referrals to
appropriate services. Students ultimately are responsible for knowing
and fulfilling all university, college, and major requirements for graduation.
Also, students are responsible for knowing and adhering to all university
policies and deadlines. It is recommended that you meet with an advisor
in your college each semester to discuss your academic progress.
Questions about major requirements should be directed to an undergraduate
advisor in the major department. The Academic Advising Center is
open M-F from 8-5 and students will be seen on a first come, first served
basis. Appointments can also be made by calling: (352) 392-1521.
The combined bachelor's/master's
degree program is designed for superior students who have the ability to
pursue an accelerated program in political science leading to the Master
of Arts in Political Science or the Master of Arts in Political Science-International
Relations. This program is not generally recommended for students considering
a Ph.D. program in Political Science at the University of Florida.
Students in the combined
program may pursue the general M.A. in Political Science, the M.A. in Political
Science - International Relations, or the certificate programs in Public
Affairs, Political Campaigning, and International Development Policy and
Administration.
The main feature of
the program is that up to 12 semester hours of approved graduate level
political science courses may be used as dual credit for both the undergraduate
and graduate degree. All other requirements for both the bachelor's degree
and the master's degree must be met.
