Special Poli Sci Courses Only offered this Winter

During the Winter and Summer sessions, POLI routinely offers a handful of courses, many of which we just do not have time to offer during the regular semesters.

Some Special Topics Courses Include:

Poli 309 Politics and Film
Poli 362 Citizens and Democracy
Poli 371 Comparative Asian Politics
Poli 482 International Law

An important note: Poli 395 National Security Policy of the United States will not be offered in Spring '23. So Winter is your last chance to take it until next school year.

These special sessions are an excellent and cost-effective way to move more quickly toward degree completion with some pretty fascinating classes.

Special sessions courses are shorter, and thus more intense, than a semester-length class. We do NOT recommend taking more than one in the Winter and two in the Summer sessions.

Winter session helps you stay on track to graduate on time, especially if you can't take 15 credits during the spring and fall semesters. Most winter session courses meet degree requirements or are general education (GEP) courses required for all majors.

Registration clearance is not required for winter session. Advising is recommended, but not required.

Use myUMBC to register for up to 4.5 credits. If you would like to take more than 4.5 credits, submit an Excess Credit Permission Form to the Office of Academic and Pre-Professional Advising for review.
