Apply Why Minor in Political Science? (Political Science)
Your choice of a minor is almost as important as your choice of a major! A minor helps students round-out and complement their major field of study. Students minoring in political science receive the same (albeit condensed) training in critical thinking, communication, and research methodology as our majors. While a minor in political science can complement any field of study, the following are some of the more common majors:
- Community Health
- History
- Business Administration
- Sociology
- Communications
- Criminology
