Important Notes for Political Science Secondary Education majors from Advising:

• An Academic Advisor will register you for TLSC 300A.  If your major/concentration changes, respond to your registration instructions email.  
• TLSC 300A meets Monday evenings from 4:15 – 6:15 p.m. Do not schedule a class during that time. 
• Please register for the same section number for TLSC 110, 120, and 130, (i.e., TLSC 110-004, 120-004, 130-004). 
• TLSC 110, 120, 130 are often taught in school settings. MWF and TuTh sections will all be held from 8:45 – 11:15am. Allow an hour between the end of TLSC classes and the next course (12:15 p.m. or later for next course). 
• Secondary Education: Political Science majors will need to declare the corresponding second major (Political Science) in the College of Arts and Science at the start of the academic year using this form. 
• Don’t forget to check the AP/IB guide to ensure you know if you have any incoming credit that will count towards your Core requirements. 
• Study abroad opportunities are limited to spring of second year (during Sequence 4), summers, or faculty-led programs over spring break and J-Term.  

A note about TLSC courses: 

Education majors take TLSC courses in each of their 8 semesters. Those courses make up what are called sequences. Students enroll in Sequence 1 in the first semester, and the Sequence 1 courses are TLSC 110 (1 credit), TLSC 120 (2 credits), TLSC 130 (1 credit), and TLSC 300A (0 credits). In total, the four courses are worth 4 credits; the average ºÚÁÏÃÅcourse is worth 3 credits. Courses worth fewer credits require less time and work than the average 3-credit course. 

In addition to Sequence 1 counting more like one class than like four, TLSC classes are different from other traditional ºÚÁÏÃÅclasses because they don’t occur at the same time. Students take them consecutively over the course of the semester. Students will take TLSC 110 first, and once it’s completed, students will take TLSC 120. And so on.
