POLITICAL SCIENCE MINOR

CATALOG DESCRIPTION

 

Political Science involves the systematic study of theories, institutions, laws, structures, patterns, and relationships that relate to citizenship, resource allocation, and power. The Political Science minor at Texas A&M University -Texarkana complements existing degree programs by providing students the opportunity to develop as leaders.  The Political Science minor will contribute to the development of students’ analytical and critical thinking, written and oral communication, and professional behavior skills.  It will also give them an understanding of cultural diversity and a global perspective.

 

The Political Science minor is a significant enhancement to the bachelor’s degrees of students planning for active citizenship and careers in public affairs, including public administration, law, teaching, journalism, elected public service, campaign management, international relations, and law enforcement.  It will also prepare students for further education in graduate or law school programs.
