Campbell University's Department of Government and History has a curriculum to aid students wishing to demonstrate such qualifications. The program meets all of the college requirements for a bachelor of arts degree and gives the student a major in government (political science) or history. The program, which is broad enough to give students the specific courses needed to prepare them for the study of law, includes United States and British history, political thought, economics, accounting, data processing, logic, national and state government, speech, sociology, psychology, and constitutional history and law. To meet the foreign language requirements, pre-law students are encouraged, but not required, to take Latin. While the program is broad and diverse, no one course alone is vital. It is the combination of courses that is the important. For the specific courses required of each student, consult with the Chairman of the Department of Government and History or see the current History Pre-law Bulletin. international studies with a major in history or government The program in international studies adapts the history major by requiring that more of the required thirty-seven semester hours of government or history courses focus on U.S. foreign policy, comparative foreign governments, international relations, and area studies and that students complete GOVT 471 (Government) or HIST 451 (History) as the senior seminar. In addition, the program uses elective spaces to give students additional work in foreign languages, international economics, and comparative economic systems. For specific courses, see the current International Studies Bulletin. a b.s. with a major in the social sciences (concentration in history) The candidate must complete, with a "C" average or better, at least 48 semester hours in the social sciences distributed as follows: twenty-four hours in history; six hours each in economics, sociology, geography, and government.
