Hello, so I am currently taking POL001 my first quarter as a freshman and I am looking to get a minor in political science. I already know the requirements but I was wondering if I should take all POL001-005 just for background knowledge (I have none aside from the class I am currently taking) before taking the upper division courses. I know it’s not mandatory and each upper division POL class has a different prerequisite. So should I take all 5? If not which should I take and why? Also, if I take them all should they be in order by number or is there a specific order you recommend? Thank you.
