A Political Science minor helps you understand the intersection of politics and economics, and how you can be a more effective citizen of that world. Reflecting on significant events, ideas, movements and passions that have shaped the political world, we come to understand better our own values, to refine our beliefs, gaining the knowledge and understanding needed to analyze critically, to evaluate transparently, and to think strategically as you navigate the 21st century political landscape.

Program Requirements

The political science minor requires students to complete 18 credit hours in political science including: POLSC 101, POLSC 102, introductory courses, courses in political theory and more! Students should consult with a department faculty member when considering a minor. Please review the program requirements and course descriptions in the SXU Academic Catalog for more detailed information.
