The four-year plans presented in this sample plan demonstrate the recommended sequencing and timing of the required and elective components within each major, the assumption each course listed is worth 4 semester units (unless otherwise noted), and that lower and upper division common course GE requirements are maximized in sharing with your major, concentration, and Intellectual Experience Badges.
Completing the 120 units necessary for graduation; should your plan not have a minimum of 120 units planned to be completed, you must add the necessary courses to ensure you complete a minimum of 120 units.

Department Notes:
- Note 1: Academic advisors should encourage students to take POLI 3 or POLI 5 in their first Spring or second Fall semester if they are likely to select Comparative Politics or International Relations for Breadth courses.
- Note 2: POLI 10 is not always offered in the Spring, so students should take it at their earliest opportunity.
- Note 3: POLI 175 and the Honor’s Seminar can be the two upper division POLI courses in the fourth year.
