Introduction

 

Why Consider a Political Science Minor?

Many others who are not majors take political science courses as an essential part of their liberal arts education. Further, students with a Political Science Major or Minor can go on to law school, graduate school in international business, international relations, public policy and teaching. In sum, political science complements a number of other majors across the social sciences, humanities, natural sciences, and professional degrees, and can enrich inquiry into the problems of sustainability, cultural diversity, and internationalization.
