Political Science Minor

Purpose

The Political Science minor enables students with an interest in domestic politics to enhance their primary major. This companion program is designed to accommodate students who are not able to complete a full double major, but who see the relevance of government and politics to their major course of study. Students interested in graduate study should consider a full major in the discipline.
