In the summer, visiting students from everywhere join UCLA students for an exceptional academic and cultural experience. With a simple registration process, UCLA and visiting students from California and the rest of the world can enroll directly in Political Science courses. All five Lower Division courses required for transfer to UCLA are offered, including "PS 30: Politics and Strategy." Upper Division courses include Foreign Relations, World Order, Global Environment and World Politics, International Relations of China, Public Opinion and Voting Behavior, the Presidency, Political Violence, Government and Politics in the Middle East.
All classes will be taught on the main UCLA campus in the beautiful and convenient Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles. You will have access to libraries, athletic and health facilities, and cultural events that are among the finest in the world. As during the regular school year, summer classes are taught by UCLA's outstanding regular and visiting faculty.
We invite you to UCLA for an enriching and unforgettable summer.
