Offered by the department of Political Science, the International Relations minor offers a basic examination of the major approaches, disciplines, and perspectives of international relations. The study of international relations is necessarily interdisciplinary, focusing on economic, geographic, historical, and political issues and questions.

The International Relations minor is helpful in preparing students for the many careers in the international arena.
