Number 5- International relations gets my vote. I just finished that class last semester and I loved it. It really puts alot of the current international situation in perspective. I believe you will find it very relative to today. My class had all essay tests, and the Professors ususaly want you to relate subject theories to current or historical situtation to show your understanding and application of those theories. there are no shortages of examples in today world. Good Liuck!

Depends on what you want to do in politics, but Government and Politics of the United States of America is pretty basic and useful knowledge to have.
Though, the class, 5 years later still think about is a tie between Comparative Democratization and Theories of State and Society.
Take all 3!

Do three or five. That teaches you something other than information you can always get out of a book later. Do either one of those two.

No matter which one you take, it's likely going to be a survey of the evils of America.
