Membership in Pi Sigma Alpha is open to undergraduate and graduate students currently enrolled in programs of political science in institutions where chapters are located. Undergraduates must meet the following criteria: They must have completed at least one-half the credits required by their institution for the baccalaureate degree; they must have completed at least ten semester-credits (or 15 quarter-credits if their institution is on the quarter system) of work in political science including at least one upper-division course, with an average grade of B or higher in those courses; they must have achieved an overall GPA placing them in the top one-third of their whole class (e.g., junior or senior class). They need not be political science majors to qualify for membership. NEW FOR 2022 The Department Chair (Gregg Johnson) asked for the information on the criteria used in the report: 1. POLS Minor/Major; 2. AT LEAST 10 POLS Credit Hours 3. MIN GPA for all POLS Courses is 3.400. Decisions: For the initial draft, we removed the duplicates Courses in the Student Acad Cred file, removing the one with the lower grade. We did not remove the "Topics" courses with course numbers of 290, 390, 490. We only included "Institutional Credits", so AP Test scores and Transfer Credits were not included in the totals for either number of credits or total GPA. |
