The 1921-1922 academic year is the earliest mention of a political science branch within the division of the Department of Economics and Sociology. The following year political science was part of the Department of History and Political Science, marking the first time it was in the title of a department. This alignment remained the same until 1950-1951 academic year when Political Science became a separate department.
