Minors

1. A minor in International Affairs provides an opportunity to receive credit on your transcript for a program of specialized instruction in the globalization of politics, economics, and the increasing interdependence of states. The minor program is designed for students who want an academic concentration that entails a more in-depth course of study than a certificate program. One benefit of that depth is that a minor appears on your transcript, whereas a certificate does not.

The Minor in International Affairs is especially useful for students preparing for graduate school or careers in internationally oriented fields. Completing a minor in international affairs signals to a prospective employer or graduate admissions committee that you have acquired a significant amount of knowledge about international affairs. The minor in International Affairs is only available to non-majors.


2. A minor in Global Development covers topics and fosters skills that are essential for all scientists, engineers, businesspersons, and policymakers who get involved with projects in impoverished countries. Global Development is the attempt to reduce poverty in lesser developed countries through the provision of technical expertise, goods and services, markets, and financial assistance. This minor will prepare students to be catalysts for improving the lives of the world’s vulnerable communities in a sustainable manner. It will combine engineering, technology, and design with the social sciences and humanities to solve practical problems in the developing world.
