A Complement to Any Major
The Public Service minor is designed to complement any major or pre-professional track, and will appeal to students who aspire to serve the public good, make a meaningful impact on society, and develop into community leaders.
Courses draw on the expertise of faculty and staff in the Bob Graham Center, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and other colleges across campus.
The minor is intended to complement a variety of majors, including the natural sciences, humanities, social sciences, journalism and business.
