The minor is a general political science minor that allows students to take coursework across the different subfields in political science. This provides options to students beyond the major to broaden student learning and understanding in an important discipline that will impact their lives beyond college. Students in more than one minor offered through the political science department cannot overlap more than one course between two minors.
