Minors
Minors allow a student to gain knowledge and experience in a field other than their major. This can be done to complement their major by choosing a minor in a related but separated field that expands their specialization or it can be used to explore an unrelated area of interest.
Minors are available to bachelor degree seeking students. A minor will consist of 15-18 credits. In addition, courses taken to fulfill general education requirements in Social Science, Math, Computer Science, or Humanities may also be used to fulfill minor requirements.
15-credit minor: A maximum of two courses required for a major can be used toward the minor.
15-credit minor: A maximum of three courses required for a major can be used toward the minor.
