American Politics Minor
The American Politics minor teaches students the fundamental ideas and structures of government that create the arena in which political events materialize and are debated in the United States. The minor equips students with the knowledge and skills to counsel and guide any social institution—whether it’s a government agency, decision-making body, school, interest group, non-profit organization, think tank, corporation, or voluntary association—by navigating their interconnectedness with politics.
