College of Social and Behavioral Sciences Minors
Purpose
A minor is a coherent program of study which enables an undergraduate degree-seeking student to develop expertise in a second area of study. It may be interdisciplinary. A student must complete a "Change of Major" form to indicate his/her intent to pursue a minor. Students may transfer between 6 and 12 credit hours from another institution. Thus, between 9 and 15 credit hours, depending upon the specific minor, must be taken at Wilmington University in order for the student to be credited with a minor. Upon successful completion of the requirements, a notation is placed on the official transcript.
The College of Social and Behavioral Sciences has minors in Army and Air Force military studies and political science.

Political Science Minor (18 credits)
A minor in Political Science provides students, from any major, an opportunity to learn about the political world around them. Such knowledge can be a tremendous asset in the real world whether it is used simply to be a better citizen, such as being informed on the issues to evaluate political candidates, or to further a professional matter, such as knowledge on how to get a bill passed. A political science minor would be a perfect complement to many degree programs.
