Students may earn more than one minor from Public Policy, but each minor must have at least 9 credit hours that are not satisfying other major or minor requirements. In addition, at least 6 resident credits must be at the 200-level or above.

An additional 9 credits of Criminal Justice electives (PPOL Jxxx) at the 300-level or above.
