Degree Offerings The political science program at Austin Peay offers a major and two minors, including a minor in International Relations. The major (B.A. or B.S. degree) requires the completion of 33 semester hours (Suggested Program of Study) which include:   Requirements: American National Government (2010) Introduction to Public Policy (2040) International Politics (2070) Foundations of Political Theory (3000) Methods of Research (3760)   Electives: 6 upper-level courses from a selection that includes courses in foreign policy, comparative politics, American politics and public law.   Law courses are offered for those students particularly interested in law school or careers as a paralegal.  These courses may be taken individually as part of the major or as a group in our legal studies concentration (Suggested Program of Study) within the political science major for a total of 51 hours.  Completing the entire legal studies concentration eliminates the need for a minor in another department.  Students who have already completed an Associates degree in paralegal studies can transfer those hours for full credit toward the concentration.    Introduction to Legal Assistance and Ethics Introduction to Law Torts Legal Research Legal Writing Civil Trial and Appellate Practice American Constitutional Law I American Constitutional Law II Judicial Politics and Behavior Women and the Law Family Law Paralegal Internship
