Program Description:

American politics. International affairs. Health care. Jobs. The environment. Civil rights. If you are interested in such matters, Political Science is a minor you should consider. Political Science has been defined as the study of “who gets what, when, and how.” It involves the study of government and public policy, as well as the study of the behavior of individuals and groups in the pursuit of their interests. In addition, the Political Science minor is designed to inform students’ interest in politics, to develop a deeper and fuller understanding of political processes, in short, to provide a solid conceptual foundation that can be built upon in their later lives as citizens.
