<p>The minor in American Government develops knowledge of the principles, institutions, and behaviors of the American political system. Students will gain insight into the workings of institutions like Congress and the presidency, the tactics of interest groups and political party activists, and the techniques and influence of the media. Because of the increasing overlap of the public and private sectors in today's fast-changing political environment, students must have a working knowledge of American government and politics. This minor draws on the latest political research and real-world examples to provide that knowledge.</p>
