<p>I am interested in transferring to BU either this spring or next fall and was wondering how the political science department faired with the rest of the departments. Also how is the workload that is associated with being a political science major?</p>
<p>As it is at any school, political science is a joke major.</p>
<p>It’s not a joke major. Ask engineering kids to write a political science research paper or take an essay exam and they won’t be able to do it. As with any major though, there are easy classes and hard ones. The BU poli sci program has really solid profs. if you’re interested in American Politics, take classes with Reeves, Kriner, and Rossell. They’re the best…all really engaging and if you work hard you’ll do well.</p>
