PUBPO-MIN - Public Policy (Minor)

Students who pursue the minor are required to take the courses listed below.  Because University rules prohibit double-counting non-introductory courses, the requirements for a minor differ according to the student's major requirements. All students must take, without double counting, at least six courses for five units each toward the minor for a total of 30 units. It is required that students review their course plans with a program administrator. Note: Students are permitted to double-count course Principles of Economics. Students with a Major in Economics will not take PUBLPOL50 and must make up the units with another course.

Public Policy students are never required to take a course that duplicates material they have already mastered. Students may, by petition, substitute a different course for a requirement whose material would be duplicative. This flexibility does not reduce the number of units required for the minor.

Students who pursue the minor must complete the Multiple Major/Minor form  and have it reviewed by all applicable departments/programs the beginning of the quarter in which the degree is conferred.

At most, 10 units of course work may be taken as credit/no credit. Between course and course, no more than 5 units can be taken for credit/no credit.
