USF 1999-2000 Undergraduate Catalog - Pages 88 - 91
The Department of Government and International Affairs includes programs in International Studies, Political Science, and Public Administration. Its goal is to provide students the opportunity to study the nature of government, politics and administration at the local, national and international levels, as well as the interdisciplinary nature of the international system. Towards that end it offers students a choice of two undergraduate degrees, one in International Studies and another in Political Science. The Department of Government and International Affairs provides students with a range of courses of study and areas of concentration, including electives offered through the Public Administration program. For more specific details students are advised to consult the description of each specific program below.
The major in International Studies enables students to undertake programs of study which emphasize (a) preparation for careers in international activities, or (b) the study of particular international themes or topics, or (c) the study of particular regions or cultures. The program of study is developed by each student in consultation with the International Studies Adviser so as to best serve the education and career goals of the individual.
The major consists of a minimum of 37 semester hours. At least 18 of these hours (six courses) must be from the International Studies Program offerings. The six required courses are:
| INR 3003 (3) | INR 3081 (3) | INR 3038 (3) | INR 4936 (3) |
plus one topical and one area studies course chosen from the INT upper division electives. It is recommended that the student complete INR 3003 before taking INR 3081.
The additional 19 hours may be selected from course offerings of other departments, which are approved by the major adviser as having adequate international or cross-cultural content. Students may also take upper level electives from the International Studies curriculum.
With the approval of the major adviser, credits earned in INR 4900 (1-3) and INR 4910 (1-3) may be used to augment or substitute for the foregoing requirements. Students are encouraged, but not required, to engage in study abroad programs, a large number of which have been approved by the USF International Affairs Center. Credits earned in such programs apply toward graduation and many also apply to the INT major.
Required Supporting Courses
Students must pass a 2000 level foreign language course (that is, at least one semester of foreign language study beyond the first year introductory courses), or complete one year of study of a non-Western language. Students who are bilingual or who are already conversationally fluent or who can translate with facility from a foreign language text are exempt from the above course requirement, but the INT faculty may require demonstration of proficiency.
Students will be provided with academic advice and counsel about other courses offered throughout the university which may support and complement their major program. INT majors should plan their programs in conjunction with the adviser who is empowered to make appropriate substitutions when educationally justified.
The minor in International Studies is a set of International Studies courses taken by a student that approximates one half of the upper level credits required for a major. The minor consists of 18 credit hours made up of six courses as follows:
| INR 3003 (3) | INR 3081 (3) | INR 3038 (3) |
| CPO 2002 (3) or | INR 2002 (3) | |
| POS 2041 (3) | POT 3003 (3) | POS 3713 (3) |
Note that either CPO 2002 or INR 2002 must be taken as a core course. However, the other course not taken as a core course may be taken as an elective.
Students should complete POT 3003 and POS 3713 by the end of the first semester of their junior year; students transferring with 45 credit hours or more must complete these courses within their first two semesters in residence at USF. A grade of "C" or better is required in all core courses.
Electives from the seven fields (24 cr. hrs.) with at least one course from Field I, one course from Field II or III, and one course from any of Fields IV, V, VI, or VII; no course from a given field or field grouping can be taken until the core course has been completed.

The area of Political Science offers a pre-law plan designed for the undergraduate considering a career related to law. (Courses on Law and Politics are listed under Filed VII of the Political Science undergrduate curriculum.) The courses making up the field are of particular interest to law-oriented students, but may be taken by others as well. Majors are guided to those courses which develop skills and provide information needed for good performance in the study of law. Students receive the skills and information needed for entry into a number of law-related positions in business and government. An integral part of this plan is a high degree of student access to the Political Science's pre-law advisor.
Prior to admission to law school, a student must take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). This test is given by the Educational Testing Service of Princeton, New Jersey.
The Law School Admission Test is given simultaneously several times each year at the University of South Florida and numerous other testing centers throughout the state. Students should plan to take the test at least one year prior to planned enrollment in law school. Additional information is available from the Department of Government and International Affairs, University of South Florida.
Students wishing to transfer to USF should complete the A.A. degree at the community college. Some courses required for the major may also meet General Education Requirements thereby transferring maximum hours to the university. If students transfer without an A.A. degree and have fewer than 60 semester hours of acceptable credit, the students must meet the university’s entering freshman requirements including ACT or SAT test scores, GPA, and course requirements.
There are no State Mandated Common Prerequisites for this degree program.
The transfer student should also be aware of the immunization, foreign language, and continuous enrollment policies of the university.
Students are encouraged to complete the following prerequisites, or major, support, or elective courses if available, during the program of study at the community college, and when feasible in General Education/Gordon Rule courses. Unless stated otherwise, a grade of “C” is the minimum acceptable grade.
