UCLA’s B.A. in Political Science (Division of Social Sciences, College of Letters and Science) provides foundational training in political processes, institutions, and analytical methods across subfields such as American politics, comparative politics, world politics/international relations, political theory, and political economy. The major requires lower-division preparation (including statistics) and 10 upper-division POL SCI courses (minimum 40 units, letter grade), with at least eight taken in the department; students must maintain a 2.0 GPA in upper-division political science coursework. Starting Fall 2024, the structure emphasizes flexibility across upper-division offerings numbered M105–199; seminars (191 series) are available to eligible students. The department notes that major upper-division units (40) do not by themselves meet UCLA’s 60-unit upper-division graduation requirement, so additional upper-division coursework is needed outside the major. 来源： https://polisci.ucla.edu/political-science-commencement-2025/ https://sa.ucla.edu/ro/public/soc/Results?SubjectAreaName=Political+Science+%28POL+SCI%29&t=251&s_g_cd=%25&sBy=subject&subj=POL+SCI&catlg=&cls_no=&undefined=Go&btnIsInIndex=btn_inIndex https://catalog.registrar.ucla.edu/major/2021/politicalscienceba
