Political Science majors may minor in International Security & Diplomacy, but the 12 credits from non-core areas must be taken in disciplines other than political science.  PSCI-295 and PSCI-356 may only count towards the Political Science major or International Security & Diplomacy minor.

Students pursuing an International Security & Diplomacy minor are strongly encouraged to study world languages and cultures, study abroad, and participate in internships relevant to the field.
