Political economy minors should plan to fulfill their Arts and Sciences general education requirements early. Since political economy is by its very nature an interdisciplinary field, students minoring in it are encouraged to take courses in the interdisciplinary All-University Curriculum beyond the required minimum. Planning a course of study with so many variables requires close consultation with the program coordinator or other advisor.
