The field of politics involves a fascinating and ever-changing environment in which people in political societies work out the question of "how we ought to order our lives together." Taking a minor in Political Science will equip students in foundational concepts and scholarship in the discipline, both in the domestic (U.S.) sense and internationally. While grounding students in a biblical understanding of the purpose of government and law, this minor will help students learn to think critically, analyze arguments, and engage ideas. Minor Requirements A Political Science minor is offered with the completion of 19 credits beyond the general education requirements (listed under Political Science, B.A. (p. 124)), 12 of which must be upper-division.
