Approved Course Equivalencies

The Department of Political Science determines which Political Science courses taken at other institutions are equivalent to UC Davis POL courses.  Linked below is a list of previously evaluated courses that have been determined equivalent or not equivalent to POL courses offered by the Department of Political Science.

PLEASE NOTE: Only Undergraduate Admissions has the authority to determine course transferability to UC. The decisions made by the Department of Political Science regarding equivalencies do not guarantee that the course is transferrable to UC Davis. Learn more about transfer credit at UC Davis here and UC Transfer Credit Policies here.

All equivalency agreements with California Community Colleges are not included in this list, but can be found on assist.org.  If you do not see your course in the list below or on assist.org, please reach out to our advising team at poladvising@ucdavis.edu to have your course evaluated. 

Political Science, Political Science - Public Service, and International Relations majors: If you are planning to take major requirement courses at another institution, we strongly urge you to notify your advising team of which courses you are planning to take and when so we can update your major progress and help ensure you meet your graduation requirements. Please contact us at poladvising@ucdavis.edu or set up an advising appointment.
