Welcome to Political Science (POLS)!
The Political Science (POLS) program offers a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) with concentrations in Pre-Law, International Affairs, Social Science Education w/ Social Studies Teaching Certification for K-12, and General Political Science. We also offer a Minor that is compatible with all Stockton majors. New in 2023-2024 will be a dual degree option with a B.A. in Political Science and M.A. in American Studies that can be completed in five (5) years. Political Science is an in-person degree program, and we offer several online courses each semester for added flexibility.
About the Program
Political Science students have opportunities to learn from top experts and practitioners in their fields, reflecting our commitment to delivering the highest-level of education at our public university. In addition to a challenging degree program, we emphasize experiential learning and other high-impact practices, providing our students with numerous opportunities to learn outside of the classroom. Our students typically add an interdisciplinary or other Minor, complete internships for credit locally or in Washington D.C. where they can live and work for an entire semester, travel abroad for 1-2 weeks as part of Stockton courses they take on campus, travel abroad for an entire semester, work with the U.S. State Department through our Diplomacy Lab program, develop and implement community-based and other research projects funded by the Board of Trustees Fellowships for Distinguished Students, complete a capstone research project in our Senior Seminar, become leaders in student clubs, earn honors distinctions, and more! Our students also work directly with a preceptor (i.e., faculty advisor) to define a series of courses for their degree program that reflects their special academic interests and enhance their career preparation.

The Political Science department at Stockton was incredibly helpful in shaping my goals, dreams, and skills. There was a wide variety of classes offered that both sparked my interest and allowed so much personal growth as well as facilitating independent thinking. I was lucky to have amazing professors who guided me on my pursuit of law school and who have continued to provide mentorship over the years.

B.A. Curriculum
Political Science is the study of politics, which is the process of decision-making that shapes how we govern our societies. It is focused on the analysis of power, relationships, and decision-making patterns that shape and determine the outcomes of vital social, economic and policy issues. Therefore, much of political science involves the study of government (the arena in which public issues are raised and resolved), the study of human behavior (as a social science, politics is done by people), the study of public policy (the outcome of many decisions in government), and the study of institutions (the places or venues through which governance occurs). Select the options below to see how you can graduate in 4 years with our B.A. degree options:

B.A Political Science
(Includes Pre-law, Dual Degree, Minor options and General Studies, At-Some-Distance, and Course Attribute requirements)
Our B.A. degree options are flexible
Our degree provides students the flexibility to determine their own focus and field of interest. To receive a B.A. degree in Political Science, a student is required to complete:
- A minimum of 40 credits (10 courses) in Political Science
- 24 credits (six courses) in Cognate areas, and
- 64 credits (16 courses) in General Studies and At-Some-Distance (ASD).
Political Science majors are also encouraged to consider adding a Minor and/or Certificate to complement their degree.
There are four specific required courses for all majors. As part of their 40 credits (10 courses) in POLS courses, all our majors regardless of their concentration must take the following:
- Introduction to American Politics (POLS 2100)
- Political Methodology (POLS 3150)
- Senior Seminar (POLS 4695) and
- CIST 1206 Statistics; for students admitted in Fall 2023, this will automatically be a part of their Cognate requirement of 24 credits (6 courses). Students who were admitted prior to Fall 2023 may request that CIST 1206 be moved to their Cognate area with preceptor approval.
The remaining 28 credits (7 courses) in POLS are electives, and if a student takes more than 40 POLS credits the additional POLS courses will automatically count towards their Cognate requirement. Other Cognate courses include historical studies, criminal justice, economics, anthropology, psychology, social work, sociology, gerontology, public law, or philosophy (only PHIL1203 and PHIL1204).
All our students are strongly recommended to take POLS 1100: Introduction to Politics (offered each semester).This course provides an integrated overview of the discipline, including the basic theories, concepts, approaches, and enduring questions of political science. It provides students with a foundation of knowledge and analytical skills necessary for an individual interested in politics. We also recommend that students take a variety of introductory courses at the 2000-level, each representing the major areas within political science. More advanced specialized courses are offered at the 3000-4000 level, and we strongly recommend (and sometimes require) students wait until their junior or senior year before taking more specialized courses. Students should choose a variety of course formats and modalities (e.g., lecture, seminar, online, hybrid, in-person, independent study, etc.).
Please note, POLS majors must take POLS 1100 and 2100 before they earn 76 credits. CIST 1206 must be taken before POLS 3150, and POLS 3150 must be taken before students earn 95 credits. POLS 4695 Senior Seminar may only be taken by students in their last semester in residence at Stockton; students must have completed POLS 3150 and CIST 1206 with a passing grade or, alternatively, must be currently enrolled in POLS 3150 at the time they register for Senior Seminar and must subsequently complete it with a passing grade. Students who wish to take Senior Seminar before their last semester in residence at Stockton may request permission from the Political Science program, provided they will have completed a minimum of seven Political Science courses (including POLS 3150 Political Methodology and POLS 2100 Introduction to American Politics) before the start of Senior Seminar. Requests must be submitted in writing to the program chair prior to registering for POLS 4695 Senior Seminar.
Note: The University Bulletin includes a summary of our degree requirements; the requirements for your degree depend on your date of matriculation. Please search for "Political Science" in the current University bulletin for complete details.

Courses in this concentration provide instruction in fields of comparative politics, international relations, global governance, and foreign policy with an emphasis on economics, security, human rights, transitional societies, and diplomacy. Students are encouraged to focus on a skill such as language(s) or GIS and other types of data analysis.
Students seeking this concentration are strongly recommended to enhance their coursework with study abroad, short-term study tours, and student clubs such as Model UN or those focusing on specific regions or issue areas of global concern. Political Science also makes available opportunities to attend panels, workshops, and networking events in the New York, Washington, DC, and local area.
REQUIREMENTS
To obtain the International Affairs concentration, students must take a total of 6 courses or 24 credits. Students seeking certification in the International Affairs concentration must also follow the designated advising curriculum in Blackboard for this concentration and are strongly encouraged to meet regularly with Dr. Tina Zappile and their preceptor.

A degree in Political Science can provide excellent preparation for a career in teaching. This concentration helps prepare students for this career, with a particular focus on social studies education. Students seeking teacher certification must meet both the requirements for graduation in Political Science and the state requirements for teacher certification.
Since several of the state requirements can be met by the same courses that are required for the Political Science major, it is highly recommended that students meet regularly with their program preceptor as well as their Education preceptor to maximize strategic course selection. Political Science faculty are familiar with the content knowledge requirements of the Praxis teacher licensure and certification exam, and much of the skills and knowledge requirements of this exam are incorporated into the Political Science curriculum.
Students interested in pursuing teaching certification should also regularly consult their assigned Education preceptor, the School of Education staff and/or the Bulletin site for the most up-to-date curriculum information to meet program and state requirements. This includes important information on entrance requirements that must be met before professional education courses can be taken including a state-mandated entrance exam (Praxis Core or equivalent). Failure to meet these requirements can mean a delay in study. Concentration requirements can change frequently, as state requirements for teacher certification and the related requirements of the School of Education are revised.
REQUIREMENTS
The NJ Department of Education requires a 3.0 cumulative GPA to be certified. Current state requirements for social studies teacher certification require a minimum of 30 credits of study in the area of social studies, including 12 credits at the 3000/4000 level and 15 HIST credits (at least 1 American and 1 World History course).
All grades for courses counting towards certification must be a C or better. This includes POLS 3150 Political Methodology.
This concentration defines a designated set of options in Political Science and other courses that can help students meet both sets of requirements. Students must also take specific Education courses set forth in the School of Education’s Curriculum Worksheet: POLS-Educ Concentration.
In addition to required Education courses, students pursuing this concentration are strongly encouraged to consider the following core courses to satisfy these requirements:

Dual Degree (M.A.) 4+1 in POLS/American Studies
The 4+1 dual degree concentration in POLS/American Studies is a special program for advanced undergraduates (96+ credits, min. 3.2 GPA in POLS major) allowing them to earn up to twelve (12) credits toward the Master of Arts degree in American Studies during their senior year.
This is achieved by successful completion of POLS 4695 (Senior Seminar) and up to three graduate-level courses during the senior year. Two of these courses should be AMST 5000 (Proseminar) in the fall semester, and AMST 5001 (Research Methods in American Studies) in the spring semester. The third may be any graduate-level elective or shared-space undergraduate/graduate elective in wither the fall or spring semesters.
These courses will count toward both the POLS B.A. degree (4 credits each) and the American Studies M.A. degree (3 credits each).
This concentration allows students to earn their M.A. degree with one additional year of study.
Students interested in the dual degree concentration should speak to their preceptors and the American Studies chair before declaring the concentration in Degree Works.
Aditional resources are available:
Minor in Political Science
The POLS Minor is designed to be flexible for students who desire a background in government and politics.
It can be completed by taking a total of 5 courses in the following fields of study: American Politics, the Law, Public Policy, Comparative Politics, International Relations, and Political Theory. The following are the requirements for the POLS Minor, for a total of 5 courses:
-
Two Political Science courses at the introductory 1000-2000 level.
-
Two upper-level Political Science courses at the 3000 level or above (no more than one 4-credit internship may be counted for the minor).

Students can contact the chair, Dr. Tina Zappile, to work out any issues or concerns about the minor to meet their needs and interests: tina.zappile@stockton.edu.
Pre-Law
The B.A. in Political Science, Pre-Law concentration is designed for students who plan to attend law school. Stockton’s Political Science graduates have had extraordinary success in gaining admission to law school. This success comes from students taking advantage of a rich array of legal studies courses that both help them get into law school and prepare them for success throughout their legal education. Courses in this concentration provide instruction in substantive areas of law and enhance students’ skills in analytical and critical thinking, legal reasoning, writing, and comprehending judicial opinions. The concentration is also valuable to students interested in paralegal careers. Students seeking certification in the pre-law concentration must consult with their program preceptor once each semester and obtain approval of selected courses.

Alan F. Arcuri Pre-Law Fund Award
Alan. F. Arcuri Pre-Law Fund Award The Stockton University Foundation will solicit applicants applicants for its Alan F. Arcuri Pre-Law Fund Award annually. This fund, in memory of Alan F. Arcuri, Emeritus Professor of Political Science, who passed away on November 20, 2017, will support Stockton students who are preparing for admission to law school by providing a stipend to pay for an LSAT preparation course. Professor Arcuri was instrumental in establishing Stockton’s Pre-Law program. As Stockton’s Pre-Law advisor, he mentored scores of students in their path to law school and a career in law. Professor Arcuri worked tirelessly with students to enhance their chances of obtaining admission to law school. This funding opportunity is open to all Stockton University undergraduates who are currently juniors (earned 64-95 credits) or seniors (earned 96+ credits). Preference will be given to juniors and seniors who major or minor in a program within the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences (SOBL). Applicants must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 at Stockton. If you have any questions, you can e-mail Linda J. Wharton, Professor of Political Science & Pre-Law Advisor at Linda.Wharton@stockton.edu.
Experiential Learning
The Political Science program offers numerous opportunities to enrich classroom-based learning through experiences. All students are encouraged to take advantage of one or more of the following:
State & Local Internships
Political Science provides academic credit for internships and strongly recommends internships as an integral part of our students' curriculum. Internships provide practical knowledge of government and politics and the personal contacts that may result in employment after graduation. State and local internships are those with a local public prosecutor’s or defender’s office, a non-profit organization, an advocacy group, the local staff of a State Senator, Assemblyman or Assemblywoman; or any number of government agencies or politically active organizations.
Students interested in arranging a state or local internship, or who have already secured an internship and would like to receive POLS credits (POLS 3900 Local Internship), should go to the SOBL Academic Internship website for more information and to apply.
Washington D.C. Internships
The Washington Internship Program is an extraordinary opportunity to spend an entire academic term (Fall/Spring/Summer) in Washington, DC, working in a variety of settings and completing an entire semester’s worth of credit (16 credits). Participants in the program work in a variety of governmental, political, nonprofit, and private sector settings. Students interested in this program should contact Professor Michael Rodriguez at michael.rodriguez@stockton.edu as early as possible.
Undergraduate Research Experiences
Stockton provides our students many Student Research Funding Opportunities. The Stockton Board of Trustees Fellowships for Distinguished Students is open campus-wide to students working with 1-2 faculty on independent projects.
Political Science students can publish their work in the Pi Sigma Alpha Undergraduate Journal of Politics, with an October 1st deadline for the fall and February 1st deadline for the spring. Please reach out to Professor Lauren Balasco for guidance: lauren.balasco@stockton.edu.
Additionally, each year the American Political Science Association (APSA) sponsors the Ralph Bunche Summer Institute (RBSI). Stockton alum Maryam Sarhan ‘18 was accepted in 2016.
Our students can also work with our faculty on research projects through Summer Intensive Research Experiences (SIRE), where they can work in small groups for credit over the summer. Additionally, Independent Studies are available throughout the year for students to work on specific projects of interest.
Students are also encouraged to present their work at conferences. The Northeast Political Science Association annual meeting accepts undergraduate presentations with a faculty sponsor. The deadline for the November conference is usually in June. The International Studies Association (ISA) is another opportunity and several regional ISA conferences accept proposals for undergraduate research. Current students are encouraged to reach out to their professors for more information about these and other opportunities!
Student Clubs and Organizations
Each semester, Student Development hosts a Get Involved Fair where students can learn more about these opportunities. For up to date information on student clubs and events, please visit Osprey Hub.
Stockton Democrats and Stockton Republicans have co-created campus debates for Presidential elections and more.
Amnesty International is a local chapter that works with the campus and community to increase awareness and take action on human rights.
Study Abroad
Political Science students are encouraged to spend a semester studying abroad and/or participate in a Stockton faculty-led study tour where they can travel internationally for 1-3 weeks through a Stockton University course (typically a G course). The campus-wide Stockton Model UN International Travel Team also travels abroad each fall semester, and students from across the university are encouraged to apply.
Civic Engagement
The American Democracy Project at Stockton is a University-wide initiative that is connected with national projects co-sponsored by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU), and participating campuses. University faculty participating in these projects foster civic and political engagement of students through a variety of types of programming, including Constitution Day, field trips, speakers, and alumni presentations. As a result of its excellence in these programs and others, the University has been recognized by the Carnegie Foundation as meeting the standards for being designated as a “Community Engaged Institution.” Please contact Professor Claire Abernathy for more information: claire.abernathy@stockton.edu.
William J. Hughes Center for Public Policy
The Hughes Center, housed in the School of Behavioral and Social Sciences (SOBL), provides students with opportunities to be engaged in applied research and to participate in an annual cycle of events that bring speakers to campus. Political Science students have conducted research through Hughes Center internships and other opportunities. Students can also work in the Center's Stockton Polling Institute: "Stockton Polling Institute tracks public opinion through the use of a student-based interview team of over 120, thus providing students with a first-hand opportunity to learn about public opinion and policymaking". The Hughes Center sponsors a Legislator-in-Residence program that gives students the opportunity to interact with members of State government from both parties in the classroom. Students should contact the Hughes Center for Public Policy for more information.
