Public Policy Minor


The minor in Public Policy, though housed within the Department of Political Science, would be a joint program between Political Science and Economics that would provide a concrete, tractable skill set for students to both understand the policymaking process and to evaluate public policy. This minor will draw upon a number of fields that current (and future) faculty at USD are likely to be trained in, which includes political science, public economics, and public affairs/policy.

18-27 Credit Hours Required

*Prerequisite course required
**Students may complete the minor with 18 credits (9 required+9 elective) if they do not choose electives that require a prerequisite but may take up to 27 credit hours (9 required +18 elective) to complete if they choose courses with prerequisites..

Note: Electives: 10 of the 16 electives for this minor do not have a prerequisite. This allows the minor to be completed in 18 credit hours.
