In total, the political science minor only requires six courses (18 units). However, if students double-count political science minor courses with GE Areas D2/4B (American Government), D4/4C (Social Science Synthesis), and F/6 (Ethnic Studies), students can complete the minor by only adding three additional courses to their curriculum.

You declare the minor by submitting a request via BroncoDirect and requesting a meeting the department minor coordinator, by emailing Dr. Mario Guerrero.
