Minor

The Minor in Civic Thought and Practice (CTP) is designed for students who, regardless of their major, wish to develop their civic knowledge and skills, and are interested in a structured, coherent civic curriculum across multiple fields. The CTP Minor is focused on political institutions, the history of political thought, and social values. The minor will be of particular interest for students with interests in the history of democracy, the rule of law, civil disagreement, constitutionalism, and political economy.  

To fulfill the CTP minor, students must complete COLLEGE 102, POLISCI 238T/HISTORY 258T, and a minimum of 4 additional courses. Courses taken for the CTP Minor may not be used towards any other major or minor. Courses applied to the minor must be taken for a letter grade where offered and must count for a minimum of 3 units; students must earn at least a C grade or higher in each course counting towards the minor.
