Fall 2026 Primary Text Courses
Please note: DAS 300 (the required Primary Texts Core Course) will be available in Fall 2025 as a new number -- DAS 420, cross-listed as POLSC 420. Either course will fulfill the course requirment for the program. Students are encouraged to take the class in their Junior or Senior year, as the capstone paper is written in the course. However, Freshmen and Sophomores can take the course and create an initial draft of their capstone paper. Please email Dr. Laurie Johnson (lauriej@ksu.edu) if you have any trouble finding the new course number or enrolling!
