Welcome to the Public Service Minor
Quick Links
Thurgood Marshall College sponsors the Public Service Minor, which encourages students to embrace the philosophy and practices of public service and to apply skills toward social and civic engagement. The cogent curriculum is vital in building the cornerstone of a active democratic society regardless of one's chosen profession, ethnicity, or political viewpoint. Coursework emphasizes the historical emergence of the non-profit sector as a national institution. The practicum aspects of the minor coupled with academic work sparks the connection between community organizations and students’ roles in becoming reflective and engaged citizens.
The minor in public service is open to all UCSD students in good standing. Students first complete TMC 15, Public Service in America, and must choose one area of specialization from Education, Government, Social Issues or Health. A list of courses appropriate for these specializations is available through Marshall College Advising Office.
