Minors

A minor is a formalized sequence of approved coursework in an area of study outside of the student’s major. A minor is not as extensive a program as the major. Most minors will be either (a) comprehensive study in a single discipline, or (b) interdisciplinary study focusing on a single theme. A minor consists of a minimum of 15 credit hours. The list below identifies the College as well as the location that offers the minor.
