MINOR IN POLITICAL SCIENCE

A minor in political science goes well with any degree. For example, many of our students minoring in political science tend to come from the fields of history and communications because the students want to learn how their major relates with politics, government, and diplomatic rewlations. We hope you find the following information useful in your search for a minor.

A minor in political science requires the student to take 18 hours of political science courses. The hours are broken down into:

6 hours of electives in political science. These hours are exclusive of POSC 2103-Introduction to United States Government.

12 hours of upper level electives in political science.

A minor in a sub-field (American Politics, Comparative Politics, International Relations, Political Theory, and Public Administration) of political science may be granted if at least 12 hours of upper-level electives are completed in the appropriate sub-field.
