Political Science (Minor)

Build a strong foundation for growing passions in politics, leadership, the American nation, and other world nations.

Taylor’s dedicated faculty teach all classes from a Christian worldview perspective, and a Political Science minor will equip you for a variety of future careers. Graduates may go on to follow paths in the government as politicians or congressional staff members, become political writers, or join advocacy groups for areas like the environment or freedom of religion.

A minor in Political Science is complementary to a major in History, Business, English, Sociology, or Psychology.
