* POLS 4601
(Ancient and Medieval Political Thought) or POLS 4602 (Modern Political
Thought) may be substituted for PHIL 4115 (Political Philosophy).

Symbolic Logic enhances one's abilities in skills necessary for the LSAT,
students in the Pre-Law track are strongly encouraged to take this course.
