Declaring
The Major
Policy Studies is a "second major,"
which means that you must have at least one accompanying departmental
major when you graduate. Your departmental major may be from any division.
It is not uncommon to find Policy Studies students who also major
in Spanish, English, History, Ecology, or Biochem/Premed as well as
more the more traditionally policy-related social sciences like Political
Science, Economics, and Sociology. See the General
Announcements for basic information on undergraduate
majors.
The Process:
|
•
|
Pick up a "Declaration
of Major" form from the Registrar's
Office. You will also need a list
of the classes you have taken for Rice credit, so you may want
to bring a copy of your transcipt (also obtained in the Registrar's
Office). |
|
•
|
Contact the Policy Studies
Director to schedule time to meet. |
|
•
|
At your meeting with
the Policy Studies Director, you will fill out an "Internal
Major Form" that will be used by the director to keep track
of the courses you are taking to meet the major requirements.
You can print out a copy of the form here
to bring to the meeting. |
|
•
|
Meet with the Policy
Studies Director each semester as you pre-register. At these
meetings, you can discuss your academic and career plans and
which Policy Studies courses are appropriate for you. Your Internal
Major Form is updated at this time. |
|
•
|
When you declare the
major, you are added to an email list. You will receive periodic
updates on course offerings, deadlines, internship opportunities,
etc., that may interest students who are majors. |
