Pre-registration update
In response to student demand, we have added to our course offerings POS 305 International Law and Organization. It will be taught by Todor Kolarov who will also teach EUR 301 EU Law and Institutions (which is WIC and carries 4 credit hours).
In the past, Prof. Kolarov worked at the World Bank in Washington, D.C., and was a legal advisor at the US embassy in Sofia. He then chaired the Bulgarian commission tasked with seizing illegally acquired assets (a post he resigned a few weeks ago citing doubts about the commitment of the Bulgarian government to fighting organized crime and high-level corruption). He has broad expertise in international public and trade law, as well as EU law and policies.
POS majors who have chosen to comply with the old requirements can take any POS course at the 400 level in order to accumulate the 9 credit hours they need in that category. As noted earlier, they can have one non-POS designated course count as a POS topics course (from among EUR 405, ECO 310, and PHI 304).

Pre-registration info
Dear Students,
It’s that time of the year again – those of you returning to AUBG in the fall need to pre-register for courses. Here is some additional information that should help you plan your course schedule.
1) We are excited to welcome a new full-time faculty member in the ranks of our department. You can see coverage of his job talk at AUBG here. Next semester, he will teach two sections of POS 102 (which will again include a simulation organized outside of class), and a POS topics course on Soviet and post-Soviet politics.
2) EUR 302 Comparative Politics of Europe and EUR/POS 307 Research Methods in Politics can be taken for either EUR or POS credit. You can register for the former only from the EUR registration page, and for the latter – only from the POS page.
3) Please note that POS majors can take one of the following as a POS topics course: EUR 405b European Security; ECO 310 Econometrics; PHI 304 Modern and Contemporary Political Philosophy.
4) Please keep in mind that students who have signed up for two majors cannot double-count more than three courses.
Please to not hesitate to seek further information about our course offerings from Prof. Phillips, Prof. Sardamov, or the faculty member teaching a particular course.
Good luck, Department of Politics and European Studies
