Emory Social Scene

@Oliea98 Not sure if you can as I don’t know which ones are offered each semester. Also college is very professor dependent so ideally you want to take the best ones for such classes. In addition, many advanced and special topics political science and history courses require no hard per-requisites so no need to rush. Likely for you, courses like 110 and 120 will be most important to complete ASAP as those are the recommendations for many upper-levels and special topics majors in international studies may want to pursue. Also, definitely take Lancaster’s freshman section of 120 if you can. Maybe also consider the voluntary core if you want a more serious liberal arts experience in the social sciences/humanities (the program is directly affiliated with the polisci dept). The cool thing about history and political science is that they aren’t majors so intrinsically hard that you need to constantly think about instructor difficulty (and then maybe trade off quality based on it). You can pretty much just choose the best instructors, and even if they are more intense than other professors, an A is still more than doable. Also, better instructors typically make for better mentors for any major (you may want to do a senior project or honors thesis or apply for a serious scholarship or fellowship opp. for example).
