POLSC-PMN - Political Science (PhD Minor)

University requirements for the Ph.D. Minor are described in the Graduate Degrees section of this Bulletin.

To request the Ph.D. Minor in Political Science, submit the University Application for Ph.D. minor form to the Political Science Student Services office for review. Once approved, the Political Science department adds the Ph.D. minor to the student's academic career.

Per policy (GAP 4.5.1 Doctoral Degrees, Requirements), all of the coursework for a Ph.D. minor must be completed at Stanford.

Pursued in combination with a doctoral degree, the PhD minor furthers students' knowledge and skills in Political Science.  This is achieved through completion of courses in two subfields, and experience with independent work and specialization.
