Curriculum
Students pursuing the minor are expected to engage in the intellectual life of the Bob Graham Center for Public Service by participating in public lectures, workshops, seminars, and civic engagement opportunities the Center offers.
The experiential learning component of the minor can be pursued through one of the internships offered by the Bob Graham Center for Public Service or through any other internship or research experience oriented toward public service.
Students must have a 2.50 GPA for admission to the minor and should normally apply during the sophomore or junior year, though they may apply later if able to complete all requirements for the minor within a timely manner that does not delay graduation. Students may apply for the minor through ONE.UF.
Students must complete a minimum of six credits of coursework exclusive to the minor that cannot count toward their major(s) or other minors.
