Public Service Minor

Austin W. Marxe School Of Public And International Affairs

Public Service is a new minor – effective Fall 2024

Public Service involves the actions we take to enhance societal well-being. Students will have an opportunity to explore how the ideals of a democratic society may be achieved or undermined by community engagement and the work of government, nonprofit, and business organizations. The Public Service minor will prepare students to analyze and strategize how best to promote the collective well-being of our communities, nation, and global society.

This minor is applicable to the Pathways College Option degree requirement.

Students are expected to complete the minor requirements in place at the time they are officially accepted into their programs. Please review the College Bulletin for the relevant academic year.
