The minor is perfect for students interested in careers in public service, public policy, government, non-profits and advocacy, social activism, and community education. Students enrolled in the minor are provided with an opportunity to extend their education beyond the classroom through engagement in socially meaningful public scholarship, in service of both pre-existing and newly developing community projects.
