Students planning to major in political science at NIU should take a strong college preparatory program in high school, preferably one with four years of English, four years of social studies or history, three years of math, two years of science, and a foreign language.
More information on program requirements, courses, and faculty may be found in the NIU Undergraduate Catalog. In addition, Political Science faculty are happy to talk to prospective majors about the overall program and any special concerns that they might have.
