Lower-division courses may not be substituted. If a student has taken a non-public affairs course in statistics or microeconomics, it is recommended that the other public affairs course be taken to satisfy the second lower-division requirement.
By petition only, students may request to use one outside course (not from a Luskin School of Public Affairs unit) as an elective for the minor.
Fieldwork and internship courses, such as Social Welfare 130A, 130B, and Urban Planning M165, may not be applied toward the minor.
A minimum of 20 units applied toward the minor requirements must be in addition to units applied toward major requirements or another minor.
Each minor course must be taken for a letter grade, and students must have an overall grade-point average of 2.0 or better in the minor. Successful completion of the minor is indicated on the transcript and diploma.
