| Designed for Students interested in U.S. Domestic Issues & Politics |
| This is an innovative major which recognizes that issues, ideas, and interests cross the lines of academic disciplines. It aims to broaden yet integrate knowledge in preparation for today's complex world. It involves choosing an emphasis area, and then taking courses in Political Science as well as the other disciplines (i.e., Anthropology, Applied Indigenous Studies, Business, Criminal Justice, History, Sociology, Women's Studies, etc.). This allows students to pursue a more comprehensive understanding of the topic. |
