Please note:
(1) Do not assume that any cross-listed course listed in the catalog counts for the subfield under which it is listed. Only those courses taught by a Government faculty member may count for a subfield.
(2) Subfield courses must be taken for a grade. Freshman seminars may count only for Gov elective credit, not subfield credit.
