Government for Non-Majors

Many students take courses in Government without majoring in Government. Occasionally, First Year Seminars (FYS) are offered. First year students and sophomores may register for introductory courses offered in each of the four Government major concentrations. Students can also register for Applied Data Analysis, the social science methodology course, which is offered by the Quantitative Analysis Center, cross-listed as GOVT 201, and counts towards the Government major. First year students and sophomores may register for Government survey courses, although Government majors have preference. In Wesmaps choose "Government" (a red link under the heading "Social Sciences") to see a link to Government courses that are "Appropriate for First-year Students."
