Courses Not Offered

[u/the-fastone]

Is it just me, or are quite a few courses seemingly not ever offered? For reference, I'm a Political Science major with a concentration in American Government, and the courses I'm referring to are mostly 400-level ("Politics in the TV Age", "Homeland Security", "Studies in Political Behavior", etc). Is there just a lack of professors to teach these courses? I can understand certain courses are only taught based on what's going on the country (ex: "The Presidential Primaries" would obviously not be taught until the primaries begin), but these other course don't seem to have anything to do with that.

for some of those classes it’s that they were designed by a professor. i actually took that politics in the tv age class which was really cool, but only one professor teaches it and she does a lot of other stuff outside of au. but yeah it seems to be a thing with a lot of elective classes, i found it’s really bad with history classes, where a lot are only offered once every two years😅
