* Distribute these upper-division area courses across Junior/Senior years, according to Department offerings and/or your own personal schedule.
Note: It is recommended that majors consider taking history and economic courses as part of their elective options. Nine units of the GE requisite must be filled with upper-division courses, taken no sooner than the term in which upper-division standing (60 units) is attained. POLS 315 (Democracy, Capitalism, & Socialism) counts as both an upper-division GE course (D5) as well as an upper-division political theory course for the major.
