Political communication is an interdisciplinary minor that is designed to understand the matter in which new technologies and strategies of communication change the emerging political order, and the matter in which the emerging political order structures the dissemination of information among citizens of the United States and other nations.

The minor in Political Communications provides preparation for those students planning further study in graduate or law school, careers in governments, international affairs, political campaigns, political journalism, or private business concerned with government activity.  Moreover, students should further their abilities to construct arguments based upon ethical and relevant data, think clearly and critically, and develop the facility to express themselves persuasively.
