A course approval request form must be completed and approved in order for any Political Science course not listed in the Barnard College catalogue to be credited toward the ten courses required for Political Science majors.
Nota bene: this procedure is separate from what the Registrar requires for course credit toward degree requirements. A course may be credited toward the 120 points required for graduation, but will not be counted as satisfying major requirements unless this form has been completed and approved.
The course approval request form is available on-line (see below).
Who Must File This Form
- Transfer students majoring in Political Science
who wish to have political science courses taken at their previous college counted toward the Political Science major here at Barnard. Please note that at least seven of the ten required major courses must be taken while the student is enrolled at Barnard.
- Political Science Majors studying away from Barnard
- Political Science Majors taking summer courses
at Columbia University, or elsewhere, which they wish to have counted toward their Political Science major.
- Political Science Majors taking Columbia courses
which are not cross-listed in the Barnard catalogue and which they wish to have counted toward their Political Science major.
How to File This Form
Please provide the information requested and then take the form to the Department Chair together with all supporting documents (e.g. reading lists, catalogue description, papers written).
If your request is approved, submit the signed form to the Department Administrator.
Important: Unless this procedure is followed, your transcript cannot be certified for graduation!
