Political Science Minor
The minor in political science can be applied to a wide range of careers, making it a great addition for students pursuing fields such as pre-law, psychology, scientific research, statistics, business, public relations, communications, marketing and more. The minor provides a strong foundation of political science concepts and equips students with writing, analysis and critical thinking skills. Students gain exposure to a variety of perspectives and have the flexibility to choose classes to fit their specific academic and career goals.
