Political Science (PLSC-MNR-AS) Minor

Minor

Students in this minor learn how the American political system works from the local through the national levels of government, and how our political decision making process differs from other countries. Current public policy issues such as social security reform, health care legislation, and campaign finance regulations are analyzed. Students also learn how public opinion generated through the media, interest groups, political parties, and elections affects government. This minor complements majors that involve participation in public affairs, such as communication, criminal justice, education, law, public relations, and social welfare.
