Hi guys. As with many others, I've been lurking around this website for a while, trying to get through the massive amount of knowledge by so many people. Anyways, I'm trying to work out a good template for a BA in Political Science. As it seems from responses I've seen and a lack of a template, not many people tend to take this route, but its the major I'm pretty much set on, so hopefully all works out.
I'm trying my best to keep the number of classes down as close to zero as possible (For both financial and time constraint issues; I'm working two jobs), but as it seems, this is one of those majors that cannot be tested out completely. Anyways, this is as far as I have (For the major specifically, not the General Education requirements).
AREA OF STUDY: Political Science
American National Government:
CLEP Exam "American Government" 3 Credits
Political Theory or Political Process:
TECEP Exam "Introduction to Political Science" 3 Credits
Comparitive Governments:
????
International Relations:
????
Research Methods:
DSST Exam "Principles of Statistics" 3 Credits
Political Science Electives:
DSST Exam "Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union" 3 Credits
DSST Exam "Introduction to the Modern Middle East" 3 Credits
DSST Exam "History of the Vietnam War" 3 Credits
TECEP Exam "Labor Relations/Collective Bargaining" 3 Credits
TECEP Exam "Community Health" 3 Credits
TECEP Exam "Enviornment and Humanity" 3 Credits
I'm confident with those that at least I can test out of a majority of this degree, which is something that was pretty critical for me. Does anybody have any ideas on what to do with Comparative Government or with International Relations? I haven't been able to come up with anything suitable just yet.
Thanks guys for all the information, both past and future. Don't I know that a good plan is the first key to success.
