Political Science (Minor)
Program Description
The Political Science minor at NYU Abu Dhabi is designed for students interested in understanding major political questions about governance, democracy, conflict, and economic development. The program explores issues such as how political systems influence policymaking, why some dictatorships persist while others transition to democracy, why wars occur, and why wealth and development are unevenly distributed. Students take substantive courses that apply analytical tools to real-world policy issues and study classic texts that shape political thought. The minor in Political Science is open to all NYUAD undergraduate students.
