Pathway to Earn a Political Science Degree<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The transfer program program in Political Science (Pre-Law and Legal Studies subfield) was created in 2014. The program provides students with an opportunity to receive a four-year degree from The Citadel. The Political Science degree program was first established in 1941; since that time, several thousand students have graduated from The Citadel with this degree.

The Political Science degree completion consists of 65 hours of general education courses at TTC plus 52 credit hours of upper division courses at The Citadel. If you have credits from another institution, they will be evaluated according to The Citadel policy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
