I am hoping to go to Michigan next year as a freshman. I applied to the political science course and want to focus on Comparative Politics and World Politics. However I am also very interested in current affairs and international relations. There isnt a specific course called international relations or foreign policy, but under the world politics description on the Michigan website it states: "[world politics] allows a student to specialize in an area such as foreign policy,regional subsystems or international systems". The website does not offer much detail into the course. Does anyone know anything about this course and how much freedom there is to study areas or categories of interests? Any info would be great.
