Political Science Minor

Dive into the ideas and theories behind political systems—local, national, and international. Tailor your coursework to what excites you most, from American politics and law, to international relations and global affairs, to the big questions of political theory.

Don’t just study politics—experience it. Join our Model UN team, sharpen your advocacy skills in Moot Court, conduct research with our community-engaged learning courses, or spend a semester in Washington, D.C. working alongside Utah legislators.

A political science minor adds value to any major. It prepares you for careers in law, government, nonprofits, education, and beyond. You’ll graduate with sharpened skills in analysis, writing, and problem-solving—plus the ability to evaluate complex issues and defend your own position.
