Minors for Globally Minded Leaders

A minor from the Nunn School provides an opportunity to enhance your major degree program with specialized instruction in the globalization of politics, economics, and the increasing interdependence of states. The minor programs are designed for students who want an academic concentration that demonstrates global competence and adds competitive value to a major. With a minor, students can cultivate personal interests, achieve well-rounded expertise, and gain a professional edge. Minors appear on transcripts.
