Curriculum Information
If you’re a declared Political Science major with 27 or more hours, you’ll need to see a faculty member from the Department Political Science for advising. (If you're undeclared or have fewer than 27 hours, you'll need to see an Arts & Sciences Advising Center Advisor.)
Our faculty advisors are here not only to help you plan your schedule, but also to answer questions about our programs of study, study abroad options, career options, as well as graduate and professional schools. You may schedule an advising appointment during any point in the year, but should note that the heaviest advising time at UNO is typically during the months of October, for the spring semester classes, and March for the fall semester.
Rather than assigning academic advisors, the faculty have decided that it is best to allow students to choose the advisor with whom they are the most comfortable. Students should stop by during the advisor’s office hours or make an appointment with the advisor by e-mail.
