Undergraduate Specialization Options
Craft a track that fits your interests and career goals.
Glenn College majors offer different specialization options, which allow students to focus on a particular policy area or develop a specific skill. The specialization requirement can be fulfilled through the completion of an interdisciplinary Public Affairs specialization track, an approved minor, an approved personalized track or a second major.
Looking for a track that better fits your goals?
Work with an advisor to design a personalized track focusing on a policy area of particular interest.
Personalized tracks must be interdisciplinary in nature, consist of a minimum of 15 credit hours, may not duplicate existing tracks or minors, and must be approved by the Glenn College’s undergraduate curriculum committee. Examples of recent personalized tracks include National Parks Management, Lobbying and Government Relations, Food Policy and Comparative Cultural Policy. Please see your advisor for more information.
Fulfill the specialization requirement through the completion of an approved minor offered by another academic unit on campus.
Students may choose minors that reflect their unique policy interests, as minors are an opportunity to delve more deeply into specialized topics. Popular minors include political science, public health and economics.
Minors must be approved by the Glenn College’s undergraduate curriculum committee in order to fulfill the specialization requirement.
Make a bigger impact
Students are encouraged to pursue additional majors/minors beyond the minimum requirement if their schedule allows.
