A Political Science minor may help students make sense of the political world that confronts them in their role as citizen. The minor may be earned by the successful completion of a minimum of five three-credit courses in Political Science. All courses counted toward the Political Science minor must be taken for a letter grade, and no fewer than three of the five Political Science courses must be taken within the department. Only one of the five may be at the introductory level. The minimum GPA for a Political Science minor is 2.0.

In many cases, one of the subfields of the political science minor will complement the perspective provided by the student’s major. The link between public law and legal studies, between public administration and business administration, between political theory and philosophy or social thought and political economy, can be especially helpful.
