Minors in Political Science, Global Politics, and Public Service

Complement your degree with a minor in political science or public service.

Minor in Political Science

The political science minor consists of three of the five political science fields—American government and politics, political theory, comparative government, international relations and American public policy. If you are interested, consult a faculty member for individual guidance in the development of an appropriate minor.

Minor in Global Politics

Global Politics minors learn about political phenomena taking place across borders and around the globe. They examine the political dynamics that influence our daily lives and shape our globalizing world.

Minor in Public Service

The public service minor develops a commitment to public service and will instill public-regarding values in you, including the value of good citizenship. The minor stresses the ethical implications of government decisions. An internship experience in Washington, D.C., is incorporated into the minor, giving you a look into the practical consequence of government decisions and the broader principles of public good that should guide these decisions.
