Students minoring in Government take courses located in one or more subfields: American government, comparative government, international relations, and political theory.
For more information about the requirements for a major or minor in Government, please visit the Government Department website.
Students in the College and MSB who minor in government must take the four foundational courses of the Government major and any two electives. Students in SFS, SOH, or SON who minor in Government also complete six courses, after meeting with the director of undergraduate studies to determine if any modification should be made for the foundational courses requirement. Students can receive minor credit for no more than one course taken outside of the university; transfer students may receive minor credit for up to two political science courses taken at another college or university.
