Minor in Political Science
While students majoring in history, sociology, criminal justice, economics, psychology, communications, and business, and students preparing for law school or international business have frequently found a minor in political science to be very useful in their careers, students majoring in many other programs have also found a minor in political science to be helpful because it helps them to critically analyze developments in their field, including in other countries, and is seen by graduate programs and many employers as evidence of a wide range of interests, skills, and knowledge. A minor in political science requires at least 15 credit hours of political science courses as approved by the department chairperson.
