The undergraduate program is divided into three divisions of Political Theory, International Relations, and Public Administration. Each currently accepts around 50 students per year. In response to a changing environment and the diverse course demands of students, the department has since 2008 offered an Honors Program and a Regular Program for students to choose from.
The Regular Program has fewer course requirements, compared to the Honors Program; aside from basic departmental training, students are given room to take courses in other areas.
The department’s course requirements are as follows:
