The Department has introduced a new prefix for International Affairs courses. Most political science courses with an international focus (e.g., International Politics, Comparative Politics, Government and Politics of Western Europe) will now use the IA prefix instead of PS. This change should have minimal impact on students. If you have questions or concerns, feel free to contact your Advisor or the Department Chair at scott.lasley@wku.edu. We will address any issues that arise, though it may take time to ensure everything runs smoothly in DegreeWorks.
