What is a Minor?

Enhance your bachelor's degree by adding a minor. Earning a minor enables you to pursue a personal interest, gain specialized knowledge that complements your major, or counterbalance your major with a completely different field of study.

  • A minor is an academic program that supplements your baccalaureate study.
  • It typically requires six or seven courses (18 - 21 credits) to complete.
