TODAY IS PIRATE NATION GIVES, ECU’s annual spring fundraising campaign

As you know, many students struggle to make ends meet while completing their degrees. Scholarships can have a profound impact on their chances for success and well-being, as they may allow them to work fewer hours, focus more on class work, and experience less stress.

Please consider giving to the Political Science scholarship fund: https://securelb.imodules.com/s/722/lg20/form.aspx?sid=722&gid=1&pgid=2127&dids=329.

You can also help support the Department and our students’ opportunities by giving to the Political Science Priority Fund, which can be used to support travel to conferences and other activities our faculty and students engage in: https://securelb.imodules.com/s/722/lg20/form.aspx?sid=722&gid=1&pgid=2127&dids=328.

The minimum donation is $5, and every dollar helps! We appreciate your support of the Department of Political Science!

ATTN. PS MAJORS: Early registration, for special categories, begins FRI., MARCH 22.

Early registration, for special categories, begins FRI., MARCH 22. For most students registration begins MON., MARCH 25. The full registration schedule is below.

When you register depends on the number of credit hours you completed PRIOR to this semester. You can find this number on Degree Works: You are looking for “OVERALL CREDITS.” This is the number of COMPLETED HOURS, as of JANUARY 2024. Do NOT use the “credits applied” (this number includes the classes you are currently enrolled in).

Your adviser should contact you sometime this week (if he or she has not already done so) to give you’re your PIN and/or set up an appointment.

You should, of course, familiarize yourself with your Degree Works record.

Please remember that we STRONGLY ADVISE PS majors take the following classes in the following years/semesters:

1. Take the writing course (POLS 2090) in their second (sophomore) year. It’s a good course to have as a base. By the way, you should take this course before you take ENGL 2201.

2. Take POLS 3031 (political Science Research Methods) in the FALL of your JUNIOR year. (1) It’s only offered in the fall, and if you are a BS major, you need to take this course before you take POLS 3032.

3. For BS majors, POLS 3032 (Statistical Methods) should be taken in the SPRING of your JUNIOR year. It’s ONLY offered in the spring.

4. Finally, if you are BS PRE-LAW, look to take the pre-law concentration courses as early as possible – they may not be offered later!
