Students majoring in other fields, particularly other social sciences, may benefit from a minor in political science. The minor is especially helpful
to students in journalism, business students interested in international business and finance, students in education, and anyone pursuing a
career where a basic understanding of political institutions and processes would strengthen other program interests. Completion of the
approved minor is certified on students' official transcript upon graduation.
The minor may be fulfilled by completing the following requirements.
