 Return to: Programs in the College of Liberal Arts
Students majoring in another field may minor in political science by completing at least 21 credits in an area of study. They can choose from four interest subjects: general, foreign affairs, public administration and public policy, and American government.
The general political science minor exposes students to all things “political” at local, national and international scales, including current issues, institutions, behavior, power, ethics, and the public good. This examination of the public aspects of human societies allows students to gain insight into the ideas that shape social and political movements and the nature of core governing institutions.
